Do any of you have ideas on how to - legally - soften the blow of the marriage tax penalty?
Wife is also a physician. This is our first full tax year of two attending income. When we run the taxes through as "filing single", we owe about $2K each. When we run the numbers as "married" (either separately or joint file), we owe >$40k. WTF.
I've already made sure they take all the money that they should.
What else can I do? What am I missing?
