I kind of talked about this in the Visa area. Fiancee and I were planning on getting married Jan 1, 2012 so I wouldn't have any tax issues. But due to his kids needing to get back for school Jan 3, I think we will have to get married in Dec 2011 after all.
Someone mentioned that by filing "Married, filing separately" I would loose my student loan deductions. Just wanted to verify that because I thought the loss of deduction for student loans was based on income levels not filing status. Why would it matter if I was filing separately versus jointly? I was able to take the deductions when I was married before.
Also, what other tax implications will there be? Probably best to pay one of the international tax prep services than my regular accountant. I had sent this question to him in an email yesterday and he replied something about it depends if the husband-to-be itemizes to which I replied, "He's not an American so does not pay taxes here." Obviously, my accountant does not understand.....
