Getting married often helps reduce the tax burden provided that you file a joint return. Whereas a single tax payer will receive a $5,450 standard deduction, a married couple filing jointly receives a $10,900 for 2008. Of course the fact that filing jointly tends to reduce the tax burden is a general rule, you should check with a competent accountant for your specific circumstances in order to verify that it is in your best interest to file this way. If you prepare your own returns there are some softwares that will automatically calculate both joint and separate filing for you to decide the best way to file. One of the downsides of filing joint returns is in the case where there is a tax liability, in which case both spouses become liable. Hope this helps.
