Filing Status
Filing status refers to a classification that dictates how a taxpayer is required to file their federal income tax return, which affects the tax rate and available deductions. This status is typically categorized into five types: single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, and qualifying widow(er) with dependent child. The status depends on the taxpayer’s marital status, dependencies, and living situation as of the last day of the tax year.
