Why do you think that is?

Her accountant is also her sister's MIL. I am sure she is a great accountant but anytime I use her I pay.

So what are you going to do if she doesn't think it is the better option? Because she is right, married filing separately is the worst filing status you can have.

I know she is right that MFS is the worse way to file, however I am getting a return filing this way. She is the one paying.

Is MFS going to be better than letting her CPA do the taxes?


Her CPA is NOT touching my taxes. I will be paying off a loan for the next 4 yrs thanks to her great advice. I am OK filing this way. I am getting money back for the first time in a decade. As you know michelle we only get taxed on straight pay but 70% of our income is non taxable. So I am ok. I am extending an olive branch to her giving up my return so that she does not have to pay and can walk away with some cash.
