Venar Ayar- Who Needs To File A 2018 Tax Return

2018 tax returns are due April 15, 2019, but not everyone needs to file a tax return. Taxpayers most commonly need to file when they want a tax refund, when they earned more than the income threshold, or when they had self-employment income.

It’s best to figure out if you need to file a return early on during the tax season so you don’t need to scramble to get your return completed by Tax Day.

Income Thresholds

You need to file a return if your income was at or above the following amounts in 2018:

  • $12,000 for single taxpayers
