Will I get a bigger income tax refund as a single parent of 1 child or a married parent?
Dear need: Tax refunds are based on how you set up your W4 at work and you can maneuver it to have a refund or break even. Tax credits are something else. As a single parent with one child you would qualify for some EITC but with your combined income and married you would not. Other credits would probably be available married/single and would not phase out until you reached well over $100K. This advice was prepared based on our understanding of the tax law in effect at the time it was written as it applies to the facts that you provided. Click on my profile to read more.
