HELP! Can anyone please give me some advice.. I'm a FTM , baby boy due Sept. 21st. My SO (baby's father) works, I however have not worked since last year (2016) We are not married yet but thinking about it soon. Question is.. Is it better to file income taxes with baby while not being married (filing single) or being married? And if it's better to do it while not being married, who should claim the baby or can we both claim him? Any information would be helpful! We are in a financial bind and need to get back as much as possible in taxes. Thank You !!
