8 Blunders to Avoid While Filing Tax Returns


 6. Right Status, Bigger Deductions

An assessee must ensure the status he falls under, which is his/her marital status or whether he/she is the only earner or is the head of the family, must be properly classified while filing returns.  This will assist in claiming the standard deductions they deserve. If an individual is married, he or she can choose to file jointly or separately. In case an individual is the head of the family, then he/she may claim and obtain a larger standard deduction.
