I am getting married in a month and I
suddenly started wondering the best way to
file taxes this coming year, joint or
seperately. Anyone know a good message
board where I can ask some tax questions?
Thanks!

Congrats on your upcoming marriage. My
husband and I were married october 2002,
and when we went to do our taxes, we were
told that under most circumstances it is
always best to file jointly. They only
reason the accountant saw to file separate
was if one of us a huge amount of assets
and the other did not. We did not fit
into that category, so we went with filing
jointly. We got all of our money back
(state and federa) as well.
Good luck!

My situation is, I make 12,000 a year, he
makes 26,000 a year, I have a child from a
previous relationship who lives with me.
Last year my fiance had to pay in when he
got his taxes done, I got a 3500.00
refund, will I still get a refund if we
file jointly? Or will we end up owing
because together we make so much more?
Thanks!

Hmm, in that case, I would either talk to
an accountant or someone who does tax
preparation when it comes time to file.
They will be able to give you the best
answer.
