If you have gross income above the limit for your filing status, you must file a tax return.

​

Also, if income tax was withheld from your pay or other income, filing a return is always good idea even if it’s not required. This will allow you to get any refund the IRS owes you.

​

Unfortunately, if you are required to file a return and fail to do so, you risk being being penalized and accruing interest on any taxes owed.

Due to COVID-19, the IRS is still trying to process over 1 Million paper files from last tax season. You can choose to paper file but most likely your refund will be delayed until after the IRS finishes processing last year's tax returns. Click here for more information: COVID TAX REFUND DELAY

When self-preparing your own taxes, you may be requested by the IRS to verify your identity by providing last year's AGI. Click here for more information on the IRS.GOV page: PIN REQUEST
