I had Monday off for President's Day and decided to fill out our tax forms. I had no idea that the marriage penalty was so big. It makes quite a difference in the amount of taxes you pay. It kind of puts a damper on finishing and sending in your taxes early. At this point I think I will wait until the April 15th deadline before I send in the federal taxes. The Minnesota tax forms compensate for the marriage penalty found in the federal forms. I'll probably send in the state now and just hold off on the federal.
