Biggest return OK my fiance and I had crappy years and we are trying to maximize our returns. I have been unemployed all year and have made $22190 on unemployment and had $2238 withheld. My fiance made $6538 and had $1115 withheld. Together we have 2 children and we have lived together for years. New for this year is that we are both full time students and both of us have a 1098-T with $13780 in payments received for qualified tuition. I usually claim her and our children as dependents, but didnt if it benefited us to have her file seperately this year? Or what way to file to maximize our return? Thank you in advance for your help |
