For those who have filed their taxes

Did you file Joint/Married or Joint/Separate? How much was the difference in your refund between the two? Any suggestions for write-offs? I am going to work on mine tonight since I finally received my info for our mortgage. TIA!!

Re: For those who have filed their taxes

  • I haven't finished filing yet, but I ran the numbers both jointly and seperately.  We get a whopping $4 more if we file jointly. LOL!  Still trying to find more write offs.

  • We filed married seperately.  I did it through turbotax both ways and my hubby owed a bit so when we figured it out we got the best overall refund doing it seperately....by a few hundred dollars

  • We did turbo tax deluxe edition for $30 and I was very pleased with its simplicity, especially this being our first year in our purchased home.

    After entering all our info, turbo tax 'told me' that filing jointly would give us a better refund, but I can't recall the difference off the top of my head.

  • Jason's grandparents did ours for us, and we ended up filing married jointly.  I don't know what the difference was, but they said we got the better refund if we did it like that.  We're actually getting several thousand dollars back, so we're pretty pleased with that, especially since I've had to pay in State the last few years.

  • I do our filing, using TurboTax.  I have in our W2's but our waiting on misc. forms.  We're going to file married-joint.

     I input both ways and our overall fed and state return is $1K high if we file jointly.  However, interestingly enough...if we were to file married-separately our fed refund drops but our state return would increase from $100 (value for joint) to $1200! Still, joint gives us the best refund!

  • Thanks for all of your input! I am going to use turbo tax and hopefully going to work on them tonight. I will report back with what I figure out.
