Explanation:

Question 7

Married couples who combine their incomes on one tax return choose the "married, filing jointly" status. "Single" is for unmarried individuals. "Widow" is for a spouse who has lost their partner. "Married, filing separately" is when married couples file separate returns.

In most U.S. states, there are other taxes like sales tax, property tax etc. along with income tax. So income tax is not the only type of tax.

The alternative minimum tax (AMT) is designed to ensure that high - income taxpayers who might otherwise use excessive deductions to avoid paying taxes still pay a minimum amount. Withholding tax is deducted from paychecks. Earned - income tax is a credit for low - income workers. Sales tax is on purchases.

Answer:

married, filing jointly
