Importance of Choosing Correct Status
An individual's tax liability depends upon two variables: the individual's filing status and the taxable income. The status can be determinative of the correct amount of tax, whether one can take certain tax deductions or exemptions that could lower the final tax bill, and even whether one must file a return at all. One must file the status honestly, or it will be considered fraudulent and penalties will be assessed.
As a taxpayer, one must withhold at least 90% of the tax burden for the year and should make sure to withhold enough to avoid penalties.

—D.H. (David Herbert)
