Thank you so much for your response. That's what I thought. This isn't my first year filing separately. but when I place half the interest paid, turbo then asks, "Is this the same amount that's on the form?" When I respond 'no', then a lot of other questions start to follow, which makes me think, 'am I doing something wrong?'
Your second question is a dosey. First, let me preface, 'I LOVE MY WIFE.' But my wife and I look at tax refunds very differently. I HATE the idea of getting a large tax refund. To me, that means I gave the government (whom I also respect) an interest-free loan. On the other hand, my wife sets her deductibles to near 0, so she can get the most in tax refunds👎🤐😫. She suggested we file separately.
