After you file

I'm not quite sure what happened.  There are two options for a married couple.

  • Married Filing Jointly  
    • You file one tax return
    • Both incomes are combined.
    • You get one refund or payment
  • Married Filing Separate
    • You file two tax returns
    • Each individual posts only there income
    • Both of you have to either use Itemized Deductions, or you must both use the Standard Deduction.
    • You get two separate refunds or payments

It sounds like there is something that has to be corrected.
