Re: married filing separately

From what I've seen, the greater your disparity in income, the better off you are by filing jointly.

Most tax software programs allow you to run an analysis comparing Married Joint with two Married Separate returns. Or you can just prepare two separate returns, and see which way you'd be better off.

With respect to the child tax credit, that is not available under the Married Separate filing status.

After tax season, I'd be glad to take a quick look at this with you. I'm pretty confident that you save thousands of dollars by filing jointly over filing separately.
