Thanks to the standard deduction being so high I cannot itemize my deductions, and we pay an independent child care so I cannot write off my child care expenses. I quickly did only my income and taking all the kids and my return was 2-3 times higher than married file jointly. What I needed to know is the question about claiming the kids, the choices are lived in my home, lived in spouse home, and lived each both our homes, or something like that. If I am married and live together with my wife, which option do I choose, lived in my home or lived in both our homes?
