Response to the following problem:
Magdalena Schmitz has undergone some major changes in her life recently. In 2015, at the age of 46, her husband, Roger, passed away. Magdalena has not remarried as of the end of 2016. Magdalena currently lives in Bedford, Pennsylvania. She was living in Pittsburgh when her husband passed away but she moved back to her childhood home so she could get help from her family raising her children. Magdalena was employed in Pittsburgh early in the year but left that job and relocated 100 miles away to pursue a life and start her new job. Magdalena has three children (ages as of the end of the year): Alyssa (23), Tyler (16), and Connor (11).
Magdalena would like to determine her federal income tax under the filing status that is most advantageous for her.
