Hello all you wonderful people! I hope you're all having a great day 🙂
So my fiancée and I were waiting till we got married to buy a house, but a house came on the market that we loved and now we're in escrow haha. It's set to close Dec 10th.
We're not married right now, but we wanted to know how we should be filing for 2020 taxes on turbo tax. Should only one of us claim the house?
Do we both claim it and turbo tax will ask if we're splitting it?
Should we go ahead and head to the courthouse and get our marriage license so we can file as a married couple for maximum return? (We're fine with this option, we plan on having a real wedding later)
This is both of our first home and we want to do it right. We don't have any other deductions and are used to using Turbo Tax for our basic needs.
Thanks for all the help in advance!
-Matt
