The maximum late payment penalty is 47% of the unpaid balance.

  • How do I file my tax return?

  • What is the minimum income amount for filing a tax return?

    $6,100 if you are single and did not marry anyone during the year; $12,200 if you are married filing jointly and did not marry someone else during the year; or $8,900 if you are married filing separately and did not live with your spouse at any time during the year.

  • Do I need to file a tax return?

    Filing a tax return is required if you had income, deductions, or credits and your total income for the year was more than the minimum amount set by law. You may also need to file a tax return even if you didn't make any money if you are required to do so by the IRS or if you want to get a refund of an overpayment from a previous year.

  • What types of income are reported on Schedule E?

    Schedule E reports various types of income including but not limited to rental income, royalties, partnership income, S corporation income, short-term capital gain or loss, and income from trusts and estates.

  • What are the penalties for not filing or paying my taxes on time?

    For each month or part of a month that you do not file your return, you will be charged a failure to file penalty of $250 or 100% of the unpaid tax, whichever is less. If both the tax and filing penalties apply, you will have to pay a total of 47% of the unpaid balance plus 0.25% for each month or part of a month the bill remains unpaid.

Tax forms

Form 1040 Schedule E is one of Tax forms that are documents used to report income, deductions, and tax liability to the relevant tax authority. These forms are an essential part of the tax filing process and are used to ensure individuals and businesses comply with tax laws and accurately calculate their tax obligations.

The specific tax forms required can vary depending on factors such as an individual's filing status, sources of income, and the country's tax laws. However, here are some common types of tax forms:

Individual Income Tax Forms: These forms, such as the 1040 series in the United States, are used by individuals to report their income, claim deductions and credits, and calculate their tax liability.

Business Tax Forms: Businesses, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and self-employed individuals, may have to file various forms to report their income, expenses, and taxes owed. Examples include Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business) and Form 1120 (U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return).

Employment Tax Forms: Employers are required to report employee wages and withhold and remit payroll taxes. Forms such as W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement) and 941 (Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return) are used for this purpose.

Investment and Retirement Account Forms: These forms are used to report investment income, capital gains, and losses, as well as contributions and distributions from retirement accounts. Examples include Form 1099-DIV (Dividends and Distributions) and Form 5498 (IRA Contribution Information).

Estate and Gift Tax Forms: When a person passes away or makes significant gifts, specific forms such as Form 706 (United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return) and Form 709 (United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return) are used to report and calculate any applicable estate or gift taxes.
