What are the advantages of filing 'Married Filing Jointly' over 'Married Filing Separately'?
Also, you can't claim certain things as married filing separately as you can married filing jointly. The advantage is a bigger standard deduction. This is the amount the IRS subtracts from your income for the year. Say, you made $30,000 and your spouse made 36,000. Filing separately you would have only received a combined deduction of say...$6,000. Filing together, with your income combined, you might have a deduction of say $7,000 or more. It's been a while since I've prepared taxes, don't take my word on the exact #'s. HELL NO!
