If you are looking at the two as individuals, and attribute 20% of the joint filing amount to the person making 20k, then yes, this is true. ($3723 vs 2,646) But it seems shortsighted for a guy to begrudge his wife $2262 in tax savings just so he can save $1077.
Hell, even with my then soon to be ex-wife I managed to work it out to file jointly so that I could save several K in taxes, even though it theoretically cost her more (I split the savings with her).
