d***a 发帖数: 13752 | 1 我往年总是用Turbo软件Married Filing Jointly.今年改用
的TaxCut,做了Federal税表后,不知道用它来处理两个州的
州税表,手填又太麻烦了,干脆试了试从头做Federal税表,
Married Filing Separately,如果差别不大就分开填州税了.
因为去年有了小孩,LP用的是Head of Household,自己用的是
Married Filing Separately.
很吃惊的发现,这样做了以后,Federal税少了近三千元.仔细
检查各项,并没有发现错误,问了朋友,朋友也觉得很奇怪.
然后对比前后两次生成的Federal税表,发现差别在于Head of Household.
如果Jointly,全家的standard deduction是10,500.
但第二种做法,Head of Household的deduction是8,000,MFS的
deduction是5,450,合在一起是13,450.另外Head of Household有
1,000的Tax Credit,直接从税额中扣除.
不过这样算下来,应该是2,000左右的差 | a***i 发帖数: 144 | 2 哈哈,才知道HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD税不一样啊... FILING STATUS对交税额影响很大的. | q****9 发帖数: 118 | 3 married cannot file Head of Household, that is for singles

issue. You have to meet two step test. Prepare some documents for audit.
That's it. |
