Many married couples automatically assume that filing jointly will result in the best possible tax benefits. Although this is true for some married couples, it is definitely not true for all of them. The reason why this is the case is because the tax code has a few key provisions that can actually cause married couples to pay more in taxes if they file jointly.

In this video, tax expert Karlton Dennis explains a number of the key downsides of filing jointly. He also explains why it can make sense for some married couples to file separately. If you choose the wrong filing status, then it can potentially cause you to miss out on substantial tax savings.

Only when they fully understand this decision can they choose the filing status that is best for them.
