We did not owe taxes with just the SS incomes. In 2016 there was a change as hubs worked PT Temporary Seasonal, and taxes were deducted. Our income still cannot support the expenses of a tax attorney, a C.P.A, or even hrblock helps. So, would it be unwise to let the IRS figure it out and send us a refund, if one is due? This part of re-instating tax responsibilities will be new to me-not sure I am up for it. All our income is above-board and the gov't knows about it.
They will also do the EIC for you. If your income is below a certain amount, you should qualify. If your income was low chances are you'll get back all the taxes that hubs paid in.
I did file a tax return every year by signing it and sending it in. Even though we did not owe any taxes, it was for keeping them informed of my address each year.
Guess I will go for help. Thank you!
I think that I can do most of the form again this year, minus the EIC stuff.
But last year, I checked the box to apply any refund to this year's return.
I have no idea if there was a small return, and if there was, what that amount would be.
I know the IRS does not want any notes or questions along with the tax return forms.
How can I ask the IRS?
