Hi.
My wife and I just got married in 2023 and my wife and I both own houses, although we live in my house. Her son is living in her house. I occasionally do freelance work, but didn't do any in 2023.
Should we file jointly as married filing together or married but filing separately? If we file as married jointly together, do we claim both houses and interest? She pays her mortgage and utilities for her house for her son, and I pay everything for my house.
I've never been married before, so this is new territory for me, and with two houses, it's new for her as well! Any insight and recommendations are most welcome!
Thanks for considering my question.
