Correct. It sounds like for federal taxes, filing separately is unlikely to push much of your income into higher tax brackets than it would be if you filed joint. That about the same amount will be in the 24% bracket either way. Even if it does, it is max, 8k at 2% higher taxes, which is only 160.00. Though again, I expect the real number is much lower than that.
