I don't get it. I keep getting $0. Maybe I'm not using high enough numbers? I used the example of $100k each, or then $100k and $80k, which is on the high side

I don't get it. I keep getting $0. Maybe I'm not using high enough numbers? I used the example of $100k each, or then $100k and $80k, which is on the high side of the median where I live and the single vs. married end up the same.
- wkaisertexas 9mo agoYou are in the same tax bracket at $80 and $100k, so the amount that you would pay would be identical. Switching tax brackets is a categorical change which needs to occur before there is a difference.
- stackskipton 9mo agoMarriage benefit comes into play when couples have disparity in income. If you are both at similar incomes, it won't change much. However, punch in 200k and 50k and see the difference.
