Are all deduction/credits allowed for couples doubled that of single filers?

false. bush ten year plan:

# 2005 180/200 percent of 15 % bracket for singles
# 2006 187/200 percent of 15 % bracket for singles
# 2007 193/200 percent of 15 % bracket for singles
# 2008 200/200 percent of 15 % bracket for singles
# 2010, a sunset provision kicks in and the marriage penalty once again will be in effect.

well they were saying protect middle class yet all taxes were increasing on above 65k range.. so by that would indicate they considered only under 65k middle class.

Who are "they?"

BTW - Congrats dave. I was all set to write congratulations and someone mentioned a tax tip.

That's all it takes these days to distract me.

Why don't you just file single, if filing under marriage is more expensive?

I personally don't see the reason for people being able to file marriage. A rich investment banker who makes 500k a year is in the top bracket. If he marries a trophy wife who does nothing, he isn't anymore. I don't see how that's fair.
