The financial benefits of claiming single vs married on your tax return depend on your individual circumstances. Generally, married couples may benefit from lower tax rates and higher deductions, while single individuals may have access to certain tax credits and deductions. It's important to consider your specific situation and consult with a tax professional to determine the best filing status for you.

Not only can you file a tax return with just unemployment benefits, but in some cases you have to. Unemployment benefits are considered income, and as long as your income is greater than the filing threshold, you have to file a return. For 2012 the filing thresholds are $9,750 for single filers and $19,500 for a married couple. You should get a 1099-G [Certain Government Payments] summarizing all of the benefits you received throughout the entire tax year.

Your parent receives social security could you still claim them on your taxes?

Possibly. Receiving SS benefits does not by itself preclude claiming your parent as a dependent. But you still have to meet all of the other qualifications for claiming a dependent. SS benefits do not count toward the gross income limit for a qualifying relative if they are not taxable on the dependent's tax return. But if the parent spends the SS benefits on their own support, they count as money the parent spends on their own support. (You have to provide more than half the parent's support.) To see the other requirements for claiming a dependent, see page 11 of Publication 501: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
