Single Filer

  

Not married. Filing your taxes as an individual. A single. A "One," like U2 sings about.

Why does it even matter whether you're a single or married filer? Well, in some eras, those filing as a married couple pay more taxes. In other eras, those filing as a single filer pay more. All depends on what bedroom action the government is trying to, you know, encourage.
