<prompt> Human: Hi PF, my husband and I both work. We have a 1 year old. So, hes been working alot of hours, and cant claim me since I work as well. We live in TX so we have alot of taxes taken out, currently I claim her since my insurance is better and so last year we were told I should claim her, but he makes more than me, so if he can atleast claim one, hopefully we can get some more back at the end of the year, or maybe they wont take so much out during the year. He claims zero, I claim one. Please help!!Assistant: Why are you filing separately? Its not the best way in most cases.Human: well we file married filing separately. Assistant: I figured. Im asking why.Human: our tax person said that we get more back if we do it that way.  <response>: If youre in a situation like this, why are you asking a bunch of people who dont know the numerous complex details when youre already paying someone who does to give you advice on how to optimize your tax situation?
