Here's my quesitons..
My salary is say 14 times my spouses.
Here's my question.
If we file jointly, our combined medical bills (prescriptions / doctors bills etc) do not hit the minimum celing for deductions. If we file seperately, my spouses medical expenses exceed her gross income. Now consiidering we can't file long forms, what are the effects if my spouse claims all the medical bills, and I don't claim anything. Is there any benefit to this approach? Thanks in advance.
