Hi!
I have just a comment that adds to the answer given earlier. In terms of changing your filing status from Head of Household to married filing jointly, The total income for both will be considered.
As the income increases, there is a corresponding increase in taxes that will be due. In most cases, credits can be reduced as well. As an example, If you had had 3 children and received the earned income credit, the credit could be as high as $6,935. IHowever, if you married and added a spouse who caused your total income to exceed $59,187, your earned income credit would be ZERO!
In most cases, the change in filing status to married would usually indicate more income and the possibility of a smaller refund.
It is the nature of ous system that the more income earned, the more taxes will be paid!
