Federal Income Tax Returns

Do I need to file a Federal Income Tax Return?

To determine whether or not you need to file a Federal Income Tax Return, answer the following questions.

  • Did you have Federal taxes withheld from your pension or wages for this tax year and wish to get a refund back?
  • Are you entitled to the Earned Income Tax Credit, or did you receive Advanced Earned Income Credit for this tax year?
  • Were you self-employed with earnings of more than $400.00?
  • Did you sell your home?
  • Will you owe any special tax on a qualified retirement plan (including an individual retirement plan (IRA) or medical savings account (MSA)?
  • Will you owe social security or Medicare tax on tips you did not report to your employer?
  • Will you owe recapture tax?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may need to file a Federal Income Tax Return. Contact your tax preparer to schedule an appointment today!
