Top 7 Tax Mistakes to Avoid

6. Not selecting the correct filing status

Although, this may sound like a mistake you wouldn’t do, be careful about it, because it is among the most common tax mistakes people make. For example, if you are a single parent, maybe the better choice for you would be to select the status – “head of household” instead of “single” because you may end up having lower taxes. Also, couples should check further if the best option is for them to file jointly or separately as the best choice is not the same for every couple. It all depends on many factors, such as immigration status,  finance history (if someone had some problems), etc. Be sure to inform yourself the best before filing anything, as it turns out, you may have a better, and still legal, option.
