Hi @Cameron_SK !
Congratulations on your wedding! If you file jointly, your standard deduction for 2023 will be $27,700.
You will only be penalized if you owe more than $1,000.
How much you owe if you make between 15,000 and 18,000 will depend on how much taxable income your new partner generates. Here are the 2023 tax brackets that may help you visualize the amount you could possibly end up owing. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/irs-tax-return/current-federal-tax-rate-schedules/L7Bjs1EAD#:~:...
Hope this helps!
