Filing status explained

The filing status is tied to marital status and determines the type of tax return form you’ll use when you file your taxes. Here are the different filing statuses and their meanings.

  • Single filer: Any individual who is not married, divorced, a registered domestic partner, or legally separated according to state law as of the last day of the tax year.
  • Married filing jointly: If you’re married, you and your spouse could choose to file your taxes jointly. Your respective incomes, exemptions, and deductions would get recorded on the same tax return, and could result in a bigger tax refund or a lower tax bill.
  • Married filing separately: If you’re married, some couples may be able to receive a larger tax return or receive additional benefits if they decide to file separately rather than jointly (ie. one qualifies for certain exemptions or deductions, and the other doesn’t).
  • Head of household: Filing as a head of household has lower tax rates. A head of household is any single or unmarried taxpayer who pays for at least 50% of the costs of supporting a qualifying family member. You must provide support for them for at least of the year in order to be able to file as a head of household. An example is a single individual who cares for their grandparent over half of the year and pays for at least 50% of all utilities and living expenses.
