If you were single with dependents in 2018 find out if you could file as Heads of Household. You could enjoy lower tax rates, a higher standard deductions, and qualify more easily for some tax credits. A lot of single parents are Heads of Household, and so are other unmarried people (and with some exception legally married people - see details) with dependents. To file as a Head of Household, you have to be unmarried (details for exceptions) and you have to support a Qualifying Person.
