Yep, it’s that time of year again. If you haven’t filed your taxes, today’s the deadline. And if you’re running late and can’t meet the deadline, check out the extensions information at IRS.gov.
Since marriage will bring you a brand new tax status, it’s best to be ahead of the game. Do some research before you actually have to file with your new status! Although I wouldn’t start today… 
When the madness of tax season is over, check out some of the following and consult a tax professional.
- IRS FAQs - Name change question.Â
- IRS - Life Events with Significant Tax Impact.
- Groomgroove.com’s “Marriage and Taxes” article.
- My Wedding Hero’s “Nests & Nets” article - part one and two.
And lastly, no matter how you work out who the main household accounting person is, you both should know the ins and outs, accounts, passwords, etc for all your finances. It only makes cents!

This is a GREAT article! These are the things we brides don’t want to think about - but most definitely SHOULD!

Great advise! I couldn’t agree more. In fact, I think all financial stuff should be communicated before getting married and all during to keep everything open.
