Question

question 7 of 10
julie changed her filing status on last years tax return from \single\ to \head of household.\ this resulted in what?

a. there was no change in her standard deduction.

b. she gets fewer exemptions.

c. her standard deduction went down.

d. her standard deduction went up.

Explanation:

In tax regulations, the "Head of household" filing status typically has a higher standard deduction than the "Single" filing status. So when Julie changed her filing status from "Single" to "Head of household", her standard deduction would increase. Option A is wrong as there is a change. Option B is wrong because "Head of household" usually allows for more (or at least not fewer) exemptions - related benefits, and option C is wrong as the deduction increases, not decreases.

Answer:

D. Her standard deduction went up.
