When you say file with both standard deductions (under filing separately) - In Turbotax it will ask, did you purchase a new home (yes), would we both claim the mortgage tax on the home under both if filing separately? And when child is born would parents claim the child since it's both standard deductions? Normally when we filed single prior to marriage and married filed separate, I would get little income tax return (paying the right amount of tax per year). And my spouse would normally get income tax per standard deductions with no investments, student loan taxes, or mortgage. Now since we are going to be on mortgage together and having a child, wondering how this would affect how we filed it before or still file it the same way just with the new items for deductions. Appreciate your first answer! Just need additional clarification if this makes sense.
