Explanation:

In the United States, for federal income tax purposes, Dante's correct and most favorable filing status for the tax year 2022 would typically be "Single."

This is because he is not legally separated, divorced, or widowed, and he does not have any dependents. Even though he is married to Paris, if they are not legally separated or divorced, and he has no knowledge of her whereabouts, he would generally file as single because he cannot file as "Married Filing Jointly" or "Head of Household" in this situation. However, tax laws can be complex, and it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or use tax software to ensure you are filing correctly based on your specific circumstances.
