This is determined on a case by case basis. We set up the return as married filing jointly and after all relevant information is acquired, an analysis is run to determine which status is better. There are other reasons to file separately even when it would result in higher taxes being paid where one of the spouses has a tax debt, student loan debt or other legal issues.
