Questions
Everything you need to know.
Do I need to file if I earned very little?
It depends on your income. The guide explains the minimum filing requirements for your situation (e.g., single under 65: income over $14,600 in 2024).
I never filed before – will I get in trouble?
The guide includes a section on catching up, including penalty relief and free tax clinics. It's never too late to start.
What's the difference between a deduction and a credit?
A deduction reduces your taxable income. A credit reduces your tax bill dollar for dollar. The guide gives examples (e.g., child tax credit vs mortgage interest deduction).
I do gig work – do I need to pay estimated taxes?
Yes, if you expect to owe $1,000 or more. The guide explains how to calculate and pay quarterly.
Can I file my taxes for free?
Yes – the guide includes links to IRS Free File, VITA (free tax help), and low‑cost software options.
