Question 1

What does the filing checker compare?

Accepted Answer

It uses the selected filing status, age, and gross income to compare the scenario with a threshold configured in the page.

Question 2

Does a result mean I legally do or do not have to file?

Accepted Answer

No. The checker is simplified and does not account for every filing trigger or exception. Check current IRS guidance for your circumstances.

Question 3

Which income should I enter?

Accepted Answer

The page asks for annual gross income before deductions. Follow the field instructions and verify which income categories matter under current IRS rules.

Question 4

Should I use this for a different tax year?

Accepted Answer

Only after confirming that the configured threshold matches that year. Thresholds and filing rules may change.
