What if mommy has a part time job and her income puts us in a higher tax bracket.
Would filing separately reduce our taxes?

I will do the math both ways, but just curious what you smart people do.

I believe what SoL said is correct as I understand it.

If you're a 2 income family I don't think filing separately is going to help, but I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure Uncle Sam is going to get his no matter how you file.
