How Much Do You Have to Make?

2022 Tax Returns are due by April 18, 2023 and the final e-File deadline is October 16, 2023. If you owe additional tax, you may face some tax penalties.

There is no need to read a lot of tax Mumbo Jumbo in order to find out how much you have to make before you have to file a tax return. There are other factors that would benefit you to file a 2022 IRS and/or State Tax Returns in 2023. For example, one reason to file a tax return would be to claim unpaid stimulus payment(s) via the Recovery Rebate Credit. This eFile.com tool will determine if you need to file a tax return based on your entries.

Filing requirements are based on your income, age, dependency status, and any tax credits you may need to claim. The tool below is easy to use and will give you a fast answer on if you need to file. More details on whether you must or should file a tax return.
