Can You Amend Married Joint to Married Separate?
Wrong—many couples don’t realize that filing separately might be the better move, in terms of tax strategies. In some instances, love doesn’t have a place in your tax return. While most married couples file joint tax returns, filing separately may be better in certain situations.
What happens if one spouse does not want to file jointly?
One spouse might be held responsible for all the tax due — even if the other spouse earned all the income. If either spouse doesn’t agree to file jointly, then both spouses must file separately.
