I saw an advertising for medical marijuana that said something like - get legal for 2019!
We can say the same thing for not filing tax returns. If you have a filing obligation, then you need to file!
Here's what IRS publication 501 says:
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, whether you must file a federal income tax return depends on:
- your gross income,
- your filing status,
- your age, and
- whether you are a dependent.
It also states - There are also seven other situations when you must file a 2018 return.
And finally - The filing requirements apply even if you owe no tax.
This is all in the first paragraph of - Who must file.
Sound difficult? Not necessarily.
I find IRS publication 501 a very useful publication. Check it out!
