    From a tax perspective, it ultimately doesn't matter whether they file as singles or married jointly. According to my calculations, their taxes payed married jointly ($18,400) is actually the exact same as the sum of their individual taxable income ($9,200). Therefore, the amount of taxes they have to pay will also be the same. ($955 for each)

    Single Married

    Taxable Income = $9,200 Taxable Income = $18,400

    $8,500*.10 = $850 $17,000*.10 = $1,700

    $9,200-$8,500 = 700*.15 = $105 $18,400-$17,000 = $1,400*.15=$210

    $105 + $850 $1,700 + $210

    Taxes to pay: $955 Taxes to pay: $1,910
