Thanks for the response. Yes, we will file jointly. The question is whether I account for her deductions (which are considerable but this drops my net income by a noticable amount). I was hoping then to take the deductions on my taxes and still apply for a mortgage solo using my net income only. Excluding her deductions this year.
