File joint return with spouse or married file separately?
Hello, my fiancée and I plan to marry this year. What is the best way to file our taxes after marriage, jointly or married filing separately?. We have payment plans in place, but we both have federal obligations that our individual tax refunds are applied against to help pay for the debts ( back taxes and federal student loans). Can we both file an injured or innocent spouse form to ensure potential future refunds are allocated appropriately to our debts?We would like to file jointly for the tax benefits and to be able to contribute to a Roth IRA.
