🔥🔥Tax Tips🔥🔥
Know your filing status.
➡️Single.
Normally this status is for taxpayers who are unmarried, divorced or legally separated under a divorce or separate maintenance decree governed by state law.
➡️Married filing jointly.
If a taxpayer is married, they can file a joint tax return with their spouse. When a spouse passes away, the widowed spouse can usually file a joint return for that year.
➡️Married filing separately.
Alternatively, married couples can choose to file separate tax returns. It may result in less tax owed than filing a joint tax return.
➡️Head of household.
Unmarried taxpayers may be able file using this status, but special rules apply. For example, the taxpayer must have paid more than half the cost of keeping up a home for themselves and a qualifying person living in the home for half the year. Taxpayers should check the rules to make sure they qualify.
➡️Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child. This status may apply to a taxpayer if their spouse died during one of the previous two years and they have a dependent child. Other conditions also apply.
📣More than one filing status may apply and taxpayers can generally choose the filing status that allows them to pay the least amount of tax.
