Should You and Your Spouse File Taxes Jointly or Separately?

  • In 2022, Married Filing Separately taxpayers only receive a Standard Deduction of $12,950 compared to the $25,900 offered to those who filed jointly.
  • If you file a separate return from your spouse, you are often automatically disqualified from several of the tax deductions and credits.
