The Bias Against Single Parents in the Internal Revenue Code
2010
Middle-income single parents are denied most tax breaks, get fewer education credits and earned income tax credits, and receive no stimulus or tax rebates. All their other benefits also phase out more quickly than those of their married counterparts. This occurs because single parents file as head of household, but head of household taxpayers are lumped in with single taxpayers for purposes of determining phaseouts and income limits.
