I just filed my taxes for the first time since filing bankruptcy and on top of that...I just got married in Dec.
Okay,my question is...my accountant says that we have to file married but separate because I am only allowed to keep $500.00 and he attends college so he gets quite a bit back from his tuitions that he has paid. But, since we filed separate...he cannot itemize which means he looses over a thousand dollars because he can't claim all the school money.
Is this correct?? How can we be able to get all his money that he put in from schooling?
