Filing Jointly For The First Time
When you get married there are so many things that you have to learn to do that you didn’t when you were single. It can be overwhelming, but we are here to make it as easy as can be. Here are a few things to consider when filing jointly for the first time.
Did you sell or buy a home?
Did you add any dependents when you married?
Do you or your spouse have unpaid tax debts or student loan defaults?
Does your spouse owe or pay alimony or child support?
Did your spouse have gambling wins or losses?
Did you contribute to political campaigns?
Did you have any capital gains/losses?
Along with asking these questions, it’s important to know that there is more paperwork when filing, so make sure to have everything early within the tax season so you don’t find yourself stressed at the very end.
While it can be a lot to wrap your mind around at first, there are also benefits to filing as a married couple. We want to make sure you experience the benefits without the stress. Ready to get a head start on your taxes as a married couple? Contact us now, so that we can help!
