Marriage, Divorce & Family
“Now that I'm married, what changes with my taxes?”
Marriage often changes how a return is filed, how income is reported, and which credits or deductions may be available. The practical effect can depend on whether both spouses work, how much withholding was set during the year, and whether either person has items like student loan interest, retirement contributions, or self-employment income. It can also matter whether you are comparing joint filing with separate filing, since the paperwork and results can look very different. State tax treatment and any name or address updates can also affect the process. Sitting down with a CPA for thirty minutes is usually enough to draw a clean line on this.
In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:
- Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
- Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
- Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
