Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you are legally married and living together and one of you had no income, why are you not filing as Married Filing Jointly?
The Standard Deduction for MFJ is $29,200 versus the Standard Deduction for Married Filing Separately of $14,600. Especially if you are trying to lower your tax burden. You also have the lowest tax brackets with filing as MFJ.
