What if you do not file a tax return?

If you had no earned income, or you were, perhaps receiving SSI benefits as your only income, then there is no need to file a tax return. However, if you had earned income and make it a habit to not file, it will eventually catch up with you and could be the result of an audit and you owing the IRS.


If you have not filed your 2006 taxes but do not owe any money to the IRS how long do you have to file without penalty?

Presuming your right, and you don't owe anything...in fact you may well have a refund or credits coming...you won't owe any penalty.However, all the more reason to file...either your missing a benefit...or because the statute of limitations, (that is how long your return remains open to audit), can't close until you file and let it run. That is because the SOL, which is really about 3 years from the time you file, doesn't start running (until you file)...so the possibility of audit remains perpetually open. That audit, is something you don't want...to prove and substantiate you didn't owe taxes...prove and substantiate all your income and expense, years latter.Also worth noting is that you only have three years to claim the refund. You have until April 15, 2010 to file that return or your refund will be lost forever.


What is the cut off for not filing taxes?

There is no point at which it becomes OK if that is what you mean. If you don't file you are perpetually open to audit and assesment for that period. (The statute that regulates how long you can be questioned about your filing starts running from the time it is filed...don't file and it never starts or ends). You can get automatic extensions for filing (NOT FOR PAYING...you do that by estimate when askling for the extension on when to file), starting with the date they are due.

What is the minimum wage earnings to file an income tax?

As I, a non-professional understand it: $3,300 is the minimum to have to file if you work for an employer and get a W2. $400 is the minimum if you're self employed. Also, if you're getting a tax refund, you MUST file. Most people advise filing taxes every year, even if you income is super-low, so that the IRS never has any extra reason to audit you.
