We file separately due to student loans, as the OP mentioned he has.


You are not allowed to deduct student loan interest if you file Married Filing Seperately

True, but if you are enrolled in an income driven repayment plan for your student loans, it may be cheaper to file separately because only your income is used to determine your student loan payment.

edit: Unless you live in a community property state, like LA, then it's half you and your spouse's adjusted gross income.
