Question. My W and I have agreed to do our taxes together because she had surgery that we had to pay for would be a deductible. It turns out that filing together we would have to pay 550 bucks. But, if we filed separate I would get 500 back and she would have to pay 421. She 'wants' to now file separate if only I give her 421 out of my 500. I wanna meet the tax preparer (which happens to be a coworker of hers and is doing this at a cheaper rate) to see what's really going on. I really don't wanna give up the majority of my return. But should I to keep peace? I could really use that money to pay back my parents some of the money they've loaned me. What should I do?
