@xmasbaby0 Thanks for replying my question!
You are right. We do get more refund if couple file married jointly every year. However, this year seem different in my case, because of my spouse 's salary, if total combine AGI, we do not qualified much of the stimulus. However, my income alone is within the qualified AGI of the stimulus rule, and we get more of the refund if filed married separately. I did my tax both ways in TurboTax (file married jointly and file married separately). The result showed we get more if both of us file married separately and I claim the kids. All the calculation were done using turbotax software, so I assumed it was corrected.
However, it has been over 21 days since I e-filed, the status of my refund in IRS.gov website shown "processing". Then I was browsing on other tax support flat form, and google more about my situation. Someone from CreditKarma forum said if a couple filed married separetely, a person with higher income will need to claim that kids. This is kinda make me wonder and want to check with someone more experience with this in TurboTax. Do you or anyone know about this?
Thanks for your comment.
