I was a tax accountant before I retired. You’d be amazed at how often spouses unload on their accountant about how much they disagree with their partner’s attitude towards money. I remember telling a client who had become a good friend, “You need to talk with your wife about money. She’s not happy.” “Yes, she is,” he said. “No, she isn’t,” I replied. I think they eventually got a divorce over money problems.

There’s no accounting for romance. Maybe he’s trying to encourage the creation of an additional exemption.

There must be a column on the tax form to fill out for romance deduction. Do you think it has anything to do with what John Edwards did??

perhaps filing your taxes jointly would be a good start."
