Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tisha can file as head of household since she is unmarried, has a dependent son, and maintains a home for him. She does not qualify for filing as a surviving spouse (which can only be used for the two years following the spouse's death) or married filing separately (since she is unmarried). She also does not meet the requirements for filing as single, since she has a dependent son.
