<prompt> Human: So Ive just got a new job recently. Job pays salary 52,000 a year before taxes. I was looking at this website and I dont really understand how taxes work very well but it seems like if I were to file married instead of single I could pay less in taxes. It would take me from 25 tax bracket to 15. So I could be saving 10 of my income5,200. Is this true?Bf goes to school full time so, no income on his part.As for getting married, me and my bf have been together for a long time and its pretty much a given that wed get married at some point now. So weve been talking about just going down to the court house sometime weddings are sooo expansive! besides we can just renew our vows if we wanna have wedding party experience sometime down the road ninja edit Please do not consider the likely hood of our staying togetherrelationship working out, I am considering this factor.My only concern is would we get kicked off our parents insurance if we got married? We live in TX if that matters.So my question is, does it sound like a good idea to get married in order to pay less in income tax?  <response>: No, this doesnt sound like agood idea. Though you think its a given youd get married, wait until he finishes school. A lot can change once youre both in the real world.
