My wife were recently married, this is our first full year as a married couple for taxes. When we did our taxes this year, we owe a pretty decent amount.
I have 1 selected for deductions and she has 0, when it’s my income, we are fine but when we add another income it goes south fast. If we take off mine and just run with hers we are fine, but add mine and we owe, we go from something like an 1800 return to owing 2200. After state we are creeping towards 4k owed. OUCH!
Are we being dinged for being married w/o children?
