Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to Bill HB 290 clarify the definitions of "head of household filing status" and "married filing separately status." They removed some formatting issues and streamlined the language for better understanding. This matters because clear definitions can help taxpayers understand their filing options, ensuring they comply with tax regulations while potentially maximizing their deductions or credits.
