Can you file 2008 income taxes if you receive SSI?

Sure. Anyone can file a tax return if they want to. SSI benefits themselves are not taxable, but if you have other sources of income, they might be taxable. Whether or not you have any taxable income, you can file if you want to, but there may be little point in doing so.


Can you file taxes for legal and medical bills if on SSI?

If you want to file a tax return YES you can. SSI (supplement security income) would not be taxable income that you would report on your 1040 income tax return. If you do NOT have any taxable worldwide income that you are required to report on your federal 1040 income tax return it would NOT benefit you to file a federal income tax return and you would NOT meet any of the MUST FILE A INCOME TAX RETURN requirement's. If you want to file a tax return YES you can.


Can I file this year's tax return without filing for previous years?

Yes. If you're required to file a return, you should go ahead and file for the current year so that it's on time. If you haven't filed for previous years because your income was below the required level for your filing status, you might still want to file to receive a refund of any income tax that was withheld. If you should have filed in previous years but didn't, then you should file as soon as possible to reduce late fees and penalties which most likely will be assessed.


Why might you want to file a federal tax return even when you don't owe taxes?

If you worked, you may have had money withheld from your paycheck. This means that although you may not have earned enough money to be required to file a tax return, filing the return may result in a refund that the IRS will pay you. You may also qualify for refundable credits like the Earned Income Credit that can be refunded to you. So, sometimes it is in your interest to file a return even if you are not required to do so.


If you're on welfare can you file for taxes?

Can you file your taxes in any state?

It doesn't matter from where you file (mail) your taxes. However, you don't get to pick what state you want to file a tax return for.In general, you are required to file a state return for the state in which your primary residence is. If you have income that derives from a source in another state (for example, you live in Connecticut, but work in New York) you have to file a return for the state(s) where your income is from in addition to the one for the state where you live.

Will the IRS work with someone who was not filed their taxes in 6 years if they voulentarily come forward to correct the problem?

Depends on your definition of "work with". First thing to note is that the IRS might not want you to file all 6 years. At this time, they are only making people file from 2002 forward so you shouldn't have to worry about anything before that unless the IRS specifically says they are looking for it. (The only reason they would usually want you to file anything earlier than that is if they have prepared a Substitute for Return for you, a return prepared by the IRS on your behalf because you failed to file). The best advice here is to just file the returns ASAP and if you are going to owe anything start working on an arrangement with them, whether that's a payment plan or an Offer in Compromise.
