That's idiotic, because it means he can't claim those kids as dependents and is paying far more in taxes every year than they would filing jointly. I could see people doing that for the medicaid, I guess, which is why we need to eliminate income bars for that program and just universalize it, then allow people to buy private health insurance to supplement.
Yeah, he pays more in taxes than he would if they jointly filed. But the money his wife gets back + 700-1000/mo in EBT more than makes up for it. That's basically an extra 20 grand not taxed per year.
Since when do people get $700 plus in EBT
Idk how all states do it but in my state if you're "single" with children you can draw anywhere from 600-1200 depending on what you make.
