The IRS Non-Filer program is designed to simplify the process of using the IRS Non-Filer to legally avoid paying taxes. In order to qualify, you quickly need to have one of the following: 1) sign up for the IRS Non-Filer; 2) have a qualifying tax problem; 3) have a qualifying financial problem; or 4) be a legal resident of the United States who would be affected by the IRS Non-Filer.
If you’re of the mindset that you don’t have to file a tax return but you still want to earn income, then you might want to consider filing an IRS Form 1040NR-EZ Non-Filer for income. Filing the form is not mandatory, and it does not affect your chances of receiving a refund in the future. This IRS form can be used by people who earned more than $50,000 and people who earned more than $75,000 in the past year.
Introduction
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Non-Filer rule allows taxpayers to use another person or entity to claim as a dependent on their tax return. This means that the use of a Non-Filer is not subject to additional liability in the event of a dependent’s death. This is very useful to any individual who has made the decision to adopt another person’s child, grandchild or the like.
Of course, one of the fastest ways to discover if you’re a non-filer is to take a peek under the covers at your tax preparer’s computer. If they are missing information, there’s a high likelihood that you need to do some digging yourself. The IRS gives each person a unique Tax Identification Number (TIN) that’s issued when they file their taxes. This number is assigned to you when you file your first tax return.
You should use the Non-Filer tool if you don’t plan to file a 2018 or 2019 federal income tax return and haven’t received your economic stimulus payment. Here is the list of all the eligibility rules to use the Non-Filer tool:
- You were a United States citizen, permanent resident, or qualified resident alien in 2019. This rule also applies to your spouse if they file jointly
- You do not receive: (Social Security, including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income, EITHER Benefits for being a railroad retiree or veteran)
- You did not file a 2018 or 2019 federal tax return AND you are not required to file a 2019 return. You do not need to file if:
(Your income is less than $12,200 (Note: If you have income of more than $400 from self-employment. You are required to file a federal return, even if your income for the entire year is less than $12,200). You are married filing jointly and your income is less than $24,400. You have no income)
- You file as single or married filing jointly. You are required to file a return if you are filing as married filing on your own
DO NOT USE the Non-Filer tool if you filed a 2018 or 2019 federal return, or participated in one of the federal programs just mentioned, and your economic stimulus payment has not arrived. Using the Non-Filer tool will not help you get paid faster. Also don’t use the tool if you plan to file a 2019 federal return.
When should you use the Non-Filer tool?
In order to receive your payment of economic stimulus this year you must use the Non-Filer tool before November 21, 2020. If you qualify for other tax credits and want to claim them now, then instead of using the Non-Filer tool you must file a tax return before November 15, 2020. October 2020.
If you are required to file a tax return and owe taxes, in addition to filing the return you must pay your debt before July 15 to avoid charges for paying late. In the event that you want additional time, you can demand an augmentation to record your return before October 15, 2020, yet your expense obligation should be paid before July 15.
If you missed the November 21 deadline, you can get your payment in 2021 when you file your 2020 tax return.
