Answer :
Answer:
Married taxpayers may double their standard deduction amount by filing separate returns is a FALSE statement.
Explanation:
- For a married couple, the standard deduction remains the same that they were paying individually before the marriage.
- Each individual is given a deduction of $6,200 only, which becomes $12,400 after marriage, which can be again broken down as $6,200 each.
- Thus, individuals are not subject to any kind of excessive deduction after they get married as the breakdown of the deduction remains the same.
