    In the current year, you will get a portion of the annual married credits (the spreadsheet won't help with calculating the portion). However, next year when you are married for a full year, you'll receive the benefit of the full married credit.

    My spreadsheet should help with comparing the difference between a 'single person's income' versus 'married-1-income-with-children income'. If you download it and need a hand with it, leave a message here or PM me if you prefer.

    I'm no expert but I found this very helpful.

    There's a great example lower down the page (near the bottom). Heading is "Similarities and differences between Joint Assessment, Separate Assessment or Separate Treatment"

    Just pop in your figures. i.e. Your 32k/year and your OH 0k/year.

    Should give you an idea.
