Tax Filing Statuses

Your filing status determines your filing requirements, standard deductions, and correct tax. Your filing status also determines whether you are eligible to claim certain credits and other deductions. There are the following five filing statuses: single, married filing separately, married filing jointly, head of household, and qualifying widow(er) with dependent child. For people who can be classified under more than one filing status, they should choose the one that will give them the lowest tax.
