      From what I know, general rule of thumb, file separely. If you both earn the same amount and have no joint assets, but if you have joint assets, and/or one partner earns a much larger sum, file together

    • @InTheMindOfficial

      Another thing to look at is that table, it might vary year to year, but if your combined income is right on the cusp, it might be viable to file together over separate, but that's legit counting pennies at that point

    Legally married until Sept 2022 and my employer didn't note the change so I have been taxed less and I fear that hurt me pretty bad. Never have I filed and owed a cent until now.
    Its disgusting how a single person could end up owing when all year long they paid

    Interesting. Starting to wonder about this, as my S/O is a high earner, roughly 3 times what I make, and may put us jointly into the 35% bracket, and move her out of the 32%, and me out of the 22%, or 24% depending on how my sidehustle works out this year. LOL, "Usually a good thing" !!! Will look for the second video.

    I'm in a complex tax situation, I am a waitress and this tax return I owe a little over $3k because supposedly of my dependents & not enough taxes was taken out throughout 2021, anyways long story short. Can I file my taxes separately from my husband and use a possible return to pay my spouse's tax liability? Once I added my spouse's w2 information, I ended up owing instead of receiving.

    So if your single then you get 12,500 and if you married you get 25k but if each of you filed single you’d get that total of 25 k deduction anyway because each person gets 12,500 deduction anyway… Bias video so far
