I wanted to run the 2016 figures as my fiancé are interested in marriage before the end of the year. He owes back taxes, so I wanted to see what option might be best for us so I ran the married filing jointly taxcaster and also ran both of single (as if we aren't getting married) and my amount was much higher than his....and our married amount was about the same as his and mine added together (if we didn't get married and filed single). My concern is that the refund amounts (for when I ran us as single) were WAY higher than the actually refunds from the previous year (with that information used). Why does taxcaster show such a large refund when it wasn't that big last year?
