This is an important factor when calculating taxable income, and this status is defined as the type of tax form an individual will use. It is based on family situation and marital status. There are five status categories: single individual, married but filing separately, married and filing jointly (or surviving spouse), qualified widow(er) with children (who are dependents), and head of household. If you qualify for more than one status, you can choose the one that allows you to pay the least amount of tax.
