Determine Your Correct Filing Status
One of the first steps for filing taxes is to determine your tax status. In general, whatever marital status you are on the last day of that tax year will help you to determine your status. If you are divorced, legally separated or unmarried, you will choose Single. If you are married then you will want to determine whether filing separately or jointly will give you the lowest tax obligation. Head of household applies to those who are unmarried but contribute more than half to maintaining a household with another person. The Widow(er) with Dependent Child status has some requirements and you will want to get with Tax Preparer Temecula. A best practice will be to ask with any question you may have concerning your taxes.
