Do any of you married folk file separate?

[MoSpur]

LOL. I'll do that.

Wow, a job that can really make you feel good at the end of the day!

Luckily for you EHJ, there are dumbass Americans (numbering well into the tens of millions) who will go to some POS tax flunky like you instead of reading up and doing it themselves.



Perhaps some day you'll be shocked and killed by your keyboard for pushing said button. Then the funeral home can charge your family $100 extra for referring them to a reputable casket maker.

You really need to spend less time trying to understand the tax code and more time reading up on dry humor.

I'll remember to use blue next time for special people like yourself.

Filing separately only makes sense when one of you makes a lot more than the other.

Basically, its for the independently wealthy who married another of less means.

Because rich people dont get tax returns, they get tax bills. So they may want to absorb you, the spouse, in their tax returns to offset some of their costs (joint filing). That has its benefits and drawbacks.

More or less, filing seperately as married folk is for business owners and the self employed. If you are neither, youre wasting your time and costing yourself more to file two seperate returns.

DING!
