Does that not hurt you on your taxes/government forms? For instance, for a period of time, my wife was making far less than me and that helped us with our taxes by giving us deductions since our combined income was under a certain threshold. I believe it helps with other things as well.
Just trying to call you out, just curious because I saw this as a net benefit overall.
We're among those households for whom the combined reporting rate actually costs us more.
Huh, TIL. Thank you :)
