Married couples have a choice when filing their 2025 federal income tax returns. They can file jointly or separately. What you choose will affect your standard deduction, eligibility for certain tax breaks, tax bracket and, ultimately, your tax liability. Typically, filing jointly saves tax compared to filing separately. This is especially true when the spouses have different income levels. Combining two incomes can bring some aof the higher-earning spouse’s income into a lower tax bracket. Also, some tax breaks aren’t available to separate filers. But filing separately may save tax when one spouse has significant medical expenses. Call us at (856) 625-2517 to discuss your particular situation.
