Married filing separate with children

[MRPLOW]

This is and has been a valid technique for decades. You may want to go back and look at previous returns you have filed and look for amendment opportunities. How long have you been preparing tax returns?

Married couple living together andt MFS saves them money. They have three children. If i give one spouse all three exemptions it increases benefit by over $1000. I can't find anything that says you must split up the children etc. The parents incomes are close but the three on one creates the additional child credit hence the extra savings.
