Have you filed your tax return?

Did you know that April 18, 2023, is Tax Day in the United States? Are you still poring over a stack of invoices from the previous year? Or are you ready to face tax day head-on? Many American citizens and permanent residents of the United States find it complicated and struggle to file their taxes. It is often always a stressful moment leading up to April.

Tax returns are documents submitted to a taxing authority that list earnings, expenditures, and other pertinent financial data. Taxpayers assess their tax obligations, plan their payments, and ask for refunds when they have paid too much in taxes.

Filing tax returns is necessary if someone makes more than a specific amount annually. But even those who do not reach the minimum amount required can file a tax return and may get some money back if they have federal income tax withheld from the pay, are qualified to claim tax credits, or made estimated tax payments.
