Subject: From $$$$ return to nothing
David Quick question.
I filed my return and was to get a $1700.00 return. then I did my
wifes and she owed $1.48, and I now only got $200.00
Her income less than $18000.00
Mine $51000.00
Is there a quick reason why she drags my return down to nothing
or in past years to owing.

david ingram replies:
You have been claiming your wife as a dependent on your return
when she is not a dependent.
If she has income of over about 8,000, she is not a deduction for
you.
In B C, a spouse is worth exactly $1,460.26 as a tax refund or
less tax to pay. That is close enough to your rounded off
difference of from $1,700 down to $200.
Sounds like you have been doing the same thing for years.
There should be an explanatory paragraph about your spousal
deduction beeen reduced to "zero" on your notice of assessment.
At least you did not end up with my $4,800,000 tax bill.
