Filing Tax Returns
About Filing Tax Returns
The completion of a tax return is the paperwork that determines the amount of revenue made by a business or individual and the taxes that must be paid to the government or government entities, or, perhaps, returned to the taxpayer. One of the largest sources of revenue for the government is taxation.
Why is Filing Tax Returns important?
Tax returns provide taxpayers the option to determine their tax burden, plan out their tax payments, or ask for refunds for any taxes they have paid in excess of what is required. For an individual or corporation having a reportable income, such as wages, interest, dividends, capital gains, or other earnings, tax returns must typically be submitted annually.
