分开的话,
income1-5700-3650*2
imcome2-itemized deduction-3650*(n-2)
income1+income2=agi
好象要多出5700的deduction.这样对吗?
而且收入低的带小孩做dependent可以有1000的credit.联合报税就只有几百。请问这样
合理吗?可以这样报税吗? |

a**u 发帖数: 762 | 3 Thanks, my 5700 should be 0. But how about 1000 for the kids? Can I claim on
my return to get full child tax credit?

This is a possible reason for saving money by filing tax return separately. |
a**u 发帖数: 762 | 5 试了一下分开报税,一个娃比联合报税要多交钱。两个娃才能多那回来几百。两种方法
正好有1000的差别。应该是合理的把。

case... normally, married filing jointly is the best way.

a**u 发帖数: 762 | 7 大多数情况下,mfj is better than mfs.但是两个人的收入加起来使child tax
credit只能那几百(2kids)。所以分开报的话,收入低的带两个小孩可以那到2000。
收入高的多交几百的税。里外里还是多了1000的credit.问题是这样做对不对?

need to be aware that mfs has different tax rates.

a**u 发帖数: 762 | 9 如果只有一个小朋友的花,mfs的总税还是和mfj差不多。但是两个小朋友的话就要省一
些了。因为mfs提高的tax rate没有child tax credit加的多。

f*****n 发帖数: 12752 | 12 wow, no idea previously that you have to split your wages for tax for those
people living in CA or DC! then mfs is really a bad idea for almost all
cases.
A good lesson to know. Thanks chatterbox for this!!! |
