Hello! Firstly, forgive me for an ignorance I may have. I'm married filling jointly. My spouse lived for Jan 2025 - August 2025 in RI. She worked in MA the whole time. Afterward she moved in with me in MA in September 2025, still works in MA. I lived the full year in MA and all of my income was in RI. How do I designate in…
Hi, I am a U.S. citizen, and I got married in October 2025. My spouse is currently in the U.S. on an F-1 student visa and has been here for about two years. She has a valid SSN and only U.S.-source income. From my understanding, since I am a U.S. citizen, we can elect to treat her as a U.S. resident for tax purposes under…
I lived and worked in PA all year. I got married in the spring. My wife lived in Ohio until the summer before moving in with me, so we now both live in PA. She earned income in Ohio, but has not earned income since moving to PA. We are filing married jointly for the federal return, but I’m unsure on how to file for Ohio…
Hello, As stated I am looking to see if there are any required or helpful steps my wife and I should take prior to filing jointly for the first time? I mean this both generally and regarding the software? Should we make a new account or just use one of our pre-existing ones? The posts that I have found on the discussion…
I got married earlier this year and my now husband and I didn't change anything with our insurance (we maintained our own separate insurance policies through work). I have a HDHP with a limited FSA and HSA, while my husband does not have a HDHP but his company allows him a FSA. We were under the impression after reading…
We want to take advantage of the additional $6,000 deduction (per 65+ person, married filing jointly) in 2025, and maximize the withdrawal within the 12% tax bracket. To calculate how much I can withdraw within the 12% bracket it seems to me that I will add: $94,300 (the maximum adjusted income within the 12% bracket)…
I am married (my wife lives overseas and has never been to the U.S.) and I filed as single for the last two years (2023 and 2024) because I was instructed to do so by an H&R Block associate when I first filed as a resident alien. At the time, I didn’t know any better. After doing some research, I found out that I could…
last year I filed our tax return as married filing separately (MFS) for me and my husband. For 2024, I would like to file it as married filing jointly. Can I use my account? Or should I open a new account instead? Thanks!
Hello, we are a recently married couple. I live in Texas and she is a resident of New York, while also working there. However, after we got married, she stopped working and moved in with me in Texas. Can we still file married jointly? I notice that New York residents require a state tax to file. How will this affect our…
Hello, I lived and worked in VA all year. I got married in the middle of the year. As for my wife — before the wedding, she lived in NJ and worked a job in NYC and another job in NJ. After the wedding, she moved to VA and worked a job in VA. How should I file my return? My guess is that I would file married filing jointly…
