Excellent article. When Ms. Mandell next covers this topic, she might want to delve into why many women who are savvy about personal finance are aware that they should not file joint returns with their husbands. Instead, these wives file separate returns when they suspect their husbands do not play by the rules. Filing separately means that these women avoid joint liability for additional taxes caused by their husbands' understatements of income or overstatements of deductions. Unfortunately, lots of other women belatedly learn the expensive way that they should not have filed joint returns and that they cannot switch to separate returns.
