    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.

        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.
