Hi all - curious to understand this a bit more. I filled out my forms as if I were single (Turbotax prefilled from the previous year) and my liability was X. I then made adjustments to reflect my new status (marriage) selecting married but filing separately - and my liability went up by 15-20%. That was the only change I made.
I looked at the difference and can't seem to understand this. It seems like standard deduction is the same for both single and married filing separately so curious what caused the liability to go up? I have no student loans, have a mortgage (and interest), and some stock gains. Seems straightforward enough.
Thanks!
