How much income do you need to be able to file for tax return?

Anyone can file a tax return. No income necessary. Just fill in zeroes. People with low income who have had tax withheld from their pay but are not required to file tax returns should do so anyway in order to get a refund.


Why do you have to pay taxes if you work and retired?

How much does it cost to get an income tax return online?

I have seen several websites that allow you to file your tax returns online for free or at a very low cost. You can also hire someone to file your income tax return for you. If you hire someone, it can cost you anywhere from $50 - $100.


You received a W2 for 1000.00 Do you have to show it?

A copy of it is on file at the IRS, so they know about the income. If you have other income, this needs to be reported too. There are no exclusions for "to little to include". If i'ts all the income you have, your not going to pay tax anyway, but you may well get benefits for low earners, and if any money was withheld on that same W2, you will get that refunded...so you want to file. What do you think...if the IRS says you don't have to file...who is that going to be better for? You or them?
