Income Tax on Married Couples Joint vs Separate Returns
John Ts Jarecki outlines options for married filers under 1949 rules. A husband and wife may file jointly or separately, with joint returns covering both incomes and deductions, and both spouses must sign for joint status.

Attach all W-2 forms to the return and file early to avoid loss. The next article will discuss Pellat W-2 elimination.
