filing status
Filing status is a category the IRS uses to describe your household situation, such as single or married, and it affects how much tax you owe and which rules apply to you.
A definition says what a thing is; it never says whether it fits you. The guides explain how it works and name the professional who confirms it for a particular person. The No Advice Disclosure.
Words beside it
- filing threshold
This is the amount of income below which you generally are not required to file a tax return. You may still want to file if you could get a refund or a tax credit.
