Even though the actual tax extension form for individuals or businesses are a lot simpler than your average tax form, taxpayers still have valid questions about how to complete it. This post continues a Tax Extension FAQ series that covers the most common tax and tax extension-related questions and their answers.
Question for today’s post:
Do I have to file a tax return?
Answer:
Here’s exactly what the IRS says, “You must file a tax return if your income is above a certain level. The amount varies depending on filing status, age and the type of income you receive. Check the Individuals section of IRS.gov or consult the instructions for Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ for specific details that may affect your need to file a tax return with the IRS this year.”
