Did you or someone you know get married in 2024? The IRS has provided a checklist to help newlyweds avoid mistakes that could cost them at tax time. How you file depends on your marital status on Dec. 31. The married-filing-jointly status is typically the most beneficial for married couples. Still, taking a what-if look at filing separately is a good idea. Did your name change? To avoid delays, report changes to the Social Security Administration. And if you have a new address, inform the IRS and the U.S. Postal Service. Also, within 10 days of getting married, provide your employers with new Forms W-4 (Employee’s Withholding Certificate).
