Still wondering who pays more than half the household expenses here. But also, does either parent have more than $16,530 in Social Security? Because as MFS they would have to pay tax on 85% of anything above that amount. And, the other spouse might have to file MFS also. Even if it's less than that, how does the gross income test work in a situation like this? If Mom gets $6,000 Social Security and files MFS, doesn't that make her AGI $5,100?
