[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my first year filing as a married person. DH and I are both in the 25% tax bracket, but our combined income pushes us into the 28% tax bracket (thanks marriage penalty)!  We're getting less back this year than when we were just living together, but unmarried.  I wonder if any other PPs are being affected by this? [/quote]

Story of my life. Happens to us every year. I wish we were just married socially, but legally were still single. I see no benefits to being married legally. [/quote]

This is what we did. I've run the numbers and it saves us many thousands of dollars every year to be legally single. Totally ridiculous. [/quote]

It's ridiculous because if you are a household with a single earner (historically male) then you get a tax break for getting married and taking care of your "little woman."  And you wouldn't have childcare costs, which tax deductions don't do much to offset anyway.  Clearly our tax code was written by a bunch of men who don't like the idea of a dual income household with similar earning capabilities.[/quote]
