Filing status
WROC Rochester First
CPA Tom Walpole discussed filing status on your income tax return Monday on News 8 at Sunrise. Walpole said there are five filing statuses - married filing jointly, married filing separate, single, head of household and qualifying widower. He said each status has its own tax table, so depending upon your status you can be in a different tax bracket. For married couples, Walpole said filing jointly will place both spouses income on the same form, place them in a single tax bracket and share altered deductions.
