Mar 15, 2022 at 3:31 comment added Joe Yes, understood - but the ideal is zero refund. Set your W4 correctly so you pay exactly what you owe, both, and then it doesn’t matter how you file. Refund of zero is best possible result!
Mar 15, 2022 at 1:56 comment added nahak Thanks Joe. I have already given W4 at the beginning of the year as - married - filing separately. Am not sure if my spouse also submitted W-4 in the same way ( i had reminded him- he had not done that last year and we received less then expected refund - so we decided to file our own taxes and not to blame each other why we received less refund). In most articles on this matter - they advise to file jointly as you save more. But saving more money is not always the purpose.
