<prompt> Human: So my wife currently stays at home and is bored. She has an offer to start a part time teaching position for about 11k per year. She wants to do it more out of interest than for the money. My salary is about 130k per year.My problem is I dont understand how taxes work, unfortunately. What are the repercussions to our overall income tax by her now having an income? In other words, is there a higher income tax rate due to there being two incomes instead of one, despite the two salaries being so different from one another? Or if I made 141k 130 11 would that be taxed at the same rate as two people who bring in that combined amount?I live in the US. We have always filed our taxes jointly.Any advice would be much appreciated! I know I need to learn more about taxes. But Im hoping for a quick answer right now. My wife unexpectedly got this offer and she needs to respond immediately to accept or decline. If my income becomes substantially more heavily taxed as a result of her now having an income, it wouldnt be worth it given that its only for 11k per year.Thanks!  <response>: No matter what youre going to have more money than you had before.
