Tax forms

Form 965-B 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).

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.
