Single vs married filing jointly
On a single $140,000 income, married filing jointly keeps about $116,150 in a no-income-tax state - roughly $9,194 more than filing single, because the joint federal brackets and standard deduction are wider. If both spouses earn, add the incomes together and check the joint brackets - two similar salaries can push more income into higher brackets.
