Question

question 1 of 10
an unmarried person, divorced person, or a person legally separated from his or her spouse must choose which filing status when filing federal income tax return?

a. married filing jointly
b. married filing separately
c. single
d. head of household

Explanation:

When filing federal income tax returns, the "Single" filing status is for unmarried, divorced, or legally separated individuals. Option A is for married couples filing together, Option B is for married couples filing separately (but the question's individuals are not in a married - filing - separately - eligible marital status here), and Option D (Head of household) has additional requirements (like providing over half the cost of maintaining a home for a qualifying person) that these individuals don't necessarily meet. So the correct filing status is Single.

Answer:

C. Single
