A simple tax question .... No "official" income - do I have to file? [View all]

All my income last year was paid in cash for services I performed.

Do I or should I file.... The total amount was about $7,000.00. No dependents but myself.

Thanks for any advice!

Peace

No, but you might get something back if you DO file. rmax Apr 2013 #10

You don't have to file, but it might be worthwhile to keep the record of this somewhere that it dimbear Apr 2013 #11

If you can prove the income, you are eligible for a tax credit under the EITC Sekhmets Daughter Apr 2013 #12
