Ok. This is a question involving numbers. You need to do your taxes a couple of ways and check it out. You need to do them showing your income and your newly spouse sometimes the increase will help to get more of an unearned income tax credit. You can also fill it out as married and have him filed separately. See which way gets you back the most and what can hurt him or you. If you take this to a tax preparer they can help you with this question very easily. Or take it to the IRS office they can too. I hope this helps. Good luck.
