I actually benefited from getting married, as my wife had non-refunding tax credits (a transit pass) that she could transfer to me. The amount was minimal though.
CalgaryFan1988, I've gone from receiving a big refund to owing money twice in my life -- and in both cases, it was due to starting a new job and not having enough money deducted for taxes by my employer (which they SHOULD do, but I've been burned twice!). Just a thought....

Ok, so then we are taxed individually......confusing. I had my income tax done this year, I get a long with my ex so we did the taxes twice, once as married once as separated, to see which was better for us.
Married, she gets back $1300, I pay $3500. (approx)
Separated, she breaks even, I get back $400. (approx)
So, I don't get it...... There is, in my experience, a difference from claiming married versus single....
