I recently helped a young man navigate the world of the 1040EZ. He is a college student who works. He was told he did not even have to file a return. He was going to do nothing. His total earnings for 2015 were just over $11,000. He will get back what he paid in Federal tax; it was a very small amount.
He asked me why he even had to bother. I reminded him that it is a law. If you are single and earn over $10,300, you have to file your tax return.
You don’t play around with the IRS.
