Single vs married filing jointly
On a single $180,000 income, married filing jointly keeps about $144,290 in a no-income-tax state - roughly $9,994 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.
