I am married and going to college, and my wife is also going to college. My question is on the tax rebates that you get from being a student. I know that you get like $2000 refund from being a student, but my tax guy said that because we are married that we can only get the $2000 from one of us, instead of the full $4000 that we would have got if we were supposed to be single. Is that true? Is there a way to get my full refund? I feel like i keep getting screwed (of course) everywhere I turn because me any my wife are trying to survive and move up in the world (and be smart), but we can't ever get help with school. We barely made 30,000 together last year so we no longer get grants (but seperate we would have got a lot!), and we only get half of our rebate. We are waiting to have kids after school, so we also get screwed because of that, even though it is the smart decision to wait because of time and financial reasons. Please help.
