I'm going to graduate from medical schoolMay, and I am getting married the same month. I realize that with IBR, your household income is used to calculate the IBR payment if you are married and file taxes jointly, making the payments quite a bit larger. However, my fiancee and I did not file taxes jointly last year because we weren't married yet.
When I start paying IBR payments, will they use both our incomes to calculate the payments from the start? Or will the payment increase next April because that's the first time we filed taxes together? Thanks!
