    I used this video for homework help. My heart was pacing so fast because I for sure thought I was going to get the problem wrong but I got it correct! You took a complicated process for most of us and simplified it. Thanks!

    Hello! I've migrated here in the USA last December 2019 and did not receive the 2 stimulus check. I've watch other video and they said that if you did not receive stimulus check you should put it on 1040 form. GREAT VIDEO BTW really helps me out!

    • @TaxTeach
      @TaxTeach  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Dan, glad to hear that the video was helpful! As for the stimulus checks, if you believe you qualify to receive those checks then yes you should put that information on your Form 1040. You would put this information on line 30 of your Form 1040. In the 2020 Form 1040 instructions: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf page 57 goes over the Recovery Rebate Credit as well as page 59. If you qualify you will receive a tax credit which will reduce the taxes you owe by the stimulus amounts you qualify for. Hope that is helpful!

    Thank you. Question pls. For a zero-filer, one who is not gainfully employed and derives income from (example) buying n selling items on free classified sections just to get by. One who makes approx $12k / year or $1000. .mo, no records of income, single.
    What would I place on the income portion of 1040? Should I put down 0 (zero) n on tax withheld section also? Or should I put down $12k which is an estimate accompanied by a letter to attest the fact n 0 on the tax withheld portion. ?
    This is intended to benefit those who have not received their stimulus checks from the start and are being g required to file for 2020 tax returns.
    Must the federal tax returns be accompanied by state tax returns mandatorily?
    Much appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am filling out a CSU application for college and it is asking me to input my Parents' adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2022 and my Parents' untaxed income and benefits for 2022. I know the AGI can be found on line 11 of the 1040 form on the 2022 Individual Tax Return, but I want to confirm where I can find the amount for the untaxed income and benefits? Is it line 2a where it says “Tax-exempt interest” or is it line 2b where it says “Taxable interest”? Line 2a is blank, but line 2b has an amount. Which one would I put?
    Thank you!

    I feel like we're supposed to fill line 37. There's nothing that says to skip it. Wouldn't the negative owed amount created by subtracting 33 and 24 and the positive overpaid amount balance things out, resulting in you still getting paid the refund amount?

    • @TaxTeach

      I believe line 37 of the Form 1040 only needs to be completed if you owe taxes. In my example there was a refund so line 37 would be left blank.
