Answer:

I have put the filing status in table. So please refer attachment 1 for the table.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to attachment 1 for explanation.

Celia was married 24 years ago, i.e. 1980 and in 2014 her husband died, now her filing status is Widower since she didn’t marry till 2016 but she has son so he would be dependent member because Celia pays more than 50% of his expenses. Hence, the filing status for Celia would remain same till she pays for her son.
