A taxpayer's spouse dies in August of the current year. Which of the following is the taxpayer's filing status for the current year?

a. Head of household.

b. Married filing jointly.

c. Single.

d. Qualified widow(er).

Explanation

Choice "b" is correct. The joint return rates apply for two years following the death of a spouse, if the surviving spouse does not remarry and maintains a household for a dependent child. There is nothing in this question that says whether or not the surviving spouse maintains a household for a dependent child. However, since the question is asking about the current year, the surviving spouse is considered to be married (and thus able to file as married filing jointly) for the entire current year even if the spouse dies earlier in the year (in this case in August).

Choice "c" is incorrect. The filing status is not single for the current year.

Choice "d" is incorrect. The filing status is not qualified widow(er) for the current year.

Choice "a" is incorrect. The filing status is not head of household for the current year.
