Mikaylee & Maddox's Mommy!
Don't have a "JOB" so do I need to file taxes?
I do under the table work so that I am able to be a stay at home mom. I clean bathrooms (for family & friends), as well as a lot of computer work, make resumes, baby sit, tutoring, things like that. None are taxed. What does this mean for my taxes? Do I still have to file even though I have no taxable income? How does this work? I haven't filed in 3 years, am am starting to get a little worried I will be in trouble some how....

No, you don't have to file if you have no taxable income.

There is a minimum that you must make to fill out a tax return,,

Listen,,,you are missing a huge amount money that the government will give you,,,yes even though you did not pay into it

You better just make sure you always get cash,,,,if you get a check it is traceable and you could get you chops busted by
the IRS,,,remember cash,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and remember free money,,,you have kids,,,,,,,,,,,

You most certainly DO have a "JOB." You're self-employed and as such you are required to claim that income. Sooner or later one of your clients will take a tax deduction for monies paid to you -- babysitting is a BIG risk as are the resumes and computer work -- and then you'll be busted.

You should be worried. Contact a local tax expert. Actually, if you've been filing jointly with your husband, you BOTH need to consult with a local tax expert as your husband is liable for the taxes as well. You need to amend those 3 years worth of returns and set up a payment plan to get right with the IRS.

As another posted points out before he goes over the edge, there is a minimum amount that must be reported. However in your case that's all of $1 so there's no free ride here. If you were single and this is your only income, the minimum is a whopping $400 before you have to report it.

You are a self-employed individual. Therefore, you should be claiming your income. Income includes "under the table" payments. The IRS does not care how you get your income, they just want to be paid.

If audited, the IRS will look at your bank accounts. If you can't provide a valid reason for the deposits, it will be considered income.

By not filing, you are also not getting any benefits that you could be entitled. EIC comes to mind. You can still get a refund even if you had no tax liability.

You also don't get any credit for paying Social Security tax. Being self-employed, you have to pay both the employer's and the employee's share of this. It is called Self-Employment tax and if you filed, you would file Schedule SE.

Since you haven't filed in 3 years, when you do file again, the IRS will probably want to know why you filed 3 years later.

If you decide to get caught up with your taxes, there will be interest and penalties added. To be safe, estimate another 50% for penalties and interest over the total 3 years of tax liability.

If you do not report it and pay the social security you will not earn enough credits for ss when you retire. If you dont file with a certain minimum income you wont get this Bush stimulus tax rebate happening.

You can deduct your expenses of performing these jobs against the income.

You're pretty brave to even ask! You never know who's watching! If someone claims you as an expence, your ssn is going to the irs. I'm self employed and have always done my own taxes. The 1 year that I had them done by a tax prep company I got hit with a fine from the irs several months later.

You should be very, very careful. Any one of your employers could file your pay as an expense.


Cranky1
Now that you have told everyone.........you might be in trouble!

normally if it's family & friends you could stay hush & be ok!

They have to be able to prove that you bring in an income before they can charge you with anything. By law you are suppose to file if you make one dollar. I wouldn't file if I got paid under the table.
