Married taxpayers have the option to file their taxes either jointly with their spouse or separately. This allows for flexibility based on which option is more financially beneficial. The "head of household" status is generally for unmarried individuals who pay more than half the cost of keeping up a home for themselves and a qualifying person. The "single" filing status is for individuals who are not married, divorced, or legally separated according to state law.
