Send this to your s/o 🥰 You’ve got 19 days! Here's the deal: This is one of the few situations where the government says "close enough" for the whole year. The IRS rules say that if you’re married by the last day of the calendar year (Dec 31), you can choose to file as Married Filing Jointly for the entire year. Why does this matter? Because the joint standard deduction is significantly higher than filing single or married filing separately. That means a larger standard deduction and possibly a bigger refund for you and your new spouse on your 2025 tax return, even if you got married on New Year's Eve. #weddingvibes #happilyeverafter
