Answer 1

Head of household

Step-by-step explanation:

Lonny's most advantageous filing status is the Head of Household. In order to use this filing status, it is mandated for the taxpayer to be either unmarried or considered unmarried by the year end. The taxpayer must also have paid over 50 percent of the cost of catering for a home for the year in view (either his personal home or the that of a qualifying parent)
