I do want to point out that never-married by looking at legal paperwork is a blunt instrument. There are reasons, especially for dual high earners, to not get a marriage license. Examples of tax-related things that don’t double when married;

-Income tax brackets above about $200k

-SALT cap

-Mortgage interest deduction

-HSA contributions (if have children)

-Dependent care FSA contributions
