Hello my fiance and I are considering to tie the knot this year. I want to know how to determine if it is a good idea financially. I have to claim one child in college who used me for financial aide and I am paying for her health care through the market place. I claim head of household in previous years.
Next year she will be using her father so she can go to school where he lives. How do I know whether the combined woud be better for us both and I claim married file jointly or wait till next year so I can stay as head of household?
