Filing Status Dependents Tree Picker
Caller verified marital/dependent/household evidence tree candidate requirements, overlaps retained, no legal filing-status determination. Independently declared positive evidence requirements; overlapping/unknown classes retained. Caller independently establishes matching units, evidence, method edition and applicability; output is not compliance, diagnosis, work-safety approval, geological identity or validated hazard prediction.
Description
Filing-status review combines marital, dependent, and household facts.
Filing-status review combines marital, dependent, and household facts.1
This checker applies your positive evidence requirements and keeps multiple possible classes when the evidence is incomplete.
When to use Filing Status Dependents Tree Picker
Use this tool when you need to review whether explicit class requirements are contradicted or fully witnessed. Establish jurisdiction, tax year, applicable authority, and eligible amounts or evidence before entering values.
How to use Filing Status Dependents Tree Picker and understand its results
- Establish jurisdiction, tax year, applicable authority, and eligible amounts or evidence before entering values.
- Enter callerFilingStatusClassIds, callerFilingStatusRequiredEvidence, observedFilingStatusEvidence, knownFilingStatusEvidenceFlags, following the field table and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read compatibleCallerClasses, fullyWitnessedCallerClasses. Use the output meanings below to interpret units, signs, flags, and any nested result fields.
- Correct reported input issues and run again. For a successful result, check the stated evidence coverage and assumptions before using it in your review.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| callerFilingStatusClassIds | Caller filing status class ids | list of string | Required |
| callerFilingStatusRequiredEvidence | Caller filing status required evidence | numeric matrix | Required |
| observedFilingStatusEvidence | Observed filing status evidence | list of number | Required |
| knownFilingStatusEvidenceFlags | Known filing status evidence flags | list of number | Required |
Provide unique nonblank class IDs, a nonempty rectangular binary requirements matrix with one row per class and one column per evidence item, aligned binary observed and known flags, and at least one required positive witness per class. A required known-zero observation contradicts a class. Unknown requirements leave it compatible but not fully witnessed. Return all compatible and all fully witnessed class IDs in supplied order; a zero requirement means that column is ignored, not a required negative fact.
compatible_c=∀j(required_cj=0 or known_j=0 or observed_j=1); witnessed_c=∀j(required_cj=0 or (known_j=1 and observed_j=1)) Symbols follow the input and output meanings and the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| compatibleCallerClasses | Compatible caller classes | list of string |
| fullyWitnessedCallerClasses | Fully witnessed caller classes | list of string |

}Limitations and assumptions
These are user-defined positive-evidence screens. Multiple classes may remain, no class may qualify, and missing evidence must be resolved independently. Fully witnessed requirements do not establish that the supplied classification rules are legally or scientifically complete.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types, and violated calculation rules are input issues. Numeric values must be finite; nonfinite results are rejected. Evidence arrays must be dense, with no missing cells. Numeric observation lists allow at most 10,000 entries, subject to any smaller bounds stated above. String lists allow at most 128 strings of at most 128 characters. Numeric matrices are limited to 128 rows and 128 entries per row, with rectangularity required where stated.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related review, use Child Tax Credit Phaseout MAGI Checker: A stepped child-credit phaseout reduces credit for each started increment above an applicable MAGI threshold. That staircase differs from a smooth linear phaseout. For a complementary step, use Innocent Spouse Relief Type Selector Lookup: Spouse-relief types need an applicable jurisdiction, year, and rule context. This tool retrieves your verified relief notice rather than choosing a claim path from spouse facts.
