Aquira I'm pretty sure everyone automatically gets tax deducted??_.but you have to file your tax returns so you can get money back.

Andss your right a lot of people come undone with tax fraud, rich ppl especially

If you make under a certain amount of money, then technically, you don't need to file.

But you should because you'll get money back most of the time.

And you only need to keep receipts if you're itemizing. 🙂

You're probably ok, just have someone look at it for you who knows something about it.

Like a Capricorn.

Isn't there a Capricorn around here who can explain this a little better?

Maybe put it in their forum.

I didn't file for a few years. Here's what happens: once you DO file a tax return, the IRS will notice you haven't filed in a while. They'll do some calculations to determine what back taxes you owe (if any), and then send you a letter asking you to pay up. No one is going to show up at your house and cart you off to jail.

it depends...its really not that serious tho unless you owe them. Which im sure if you did they would already be knocking at ya door. The longest I went was three years and when I finally filed i got back money for each year i didnt file plus the year that I finally filed. Also if you havent made much money in those years you will be fine.
