My husband is military (about $50,000 of taxable income a year) and I work in sales ($55,000 base). I have federal student loan debt on an IBR plan. I would like to keep this payments low so I can knock out my private loans first. We filed MFS last year. We have a baby coming this summer, so will of course be able to claim her. What is the best route of filing for 2027? We also both have not updated our W4's since getting married. Is this something we should do?

Your question is really rather vague. But if you want your student loan payment to be lower then you can file MFS. Your incomes are similar and your combined tax liability will be similar MFS vs. MFJ.
