<prompt> Human: My husband and I got married in early December. Would it make more sense to file jointly for 2015 or file separately? I know there is a tax break or so Ive heard for married couples and if that means we could get a return Id like to take advantage of that.My husband had major surgery this year plus we paid for a lot of our wedding and our savings are pretty low at the moment 2k, so anything we can do to boost that would be great. We are in the US. If this isnt the right sub, please let me know where I should go.  <response>: It is rarely a good idea to file separately.
