Qué deben tener en cuenta los contribuyentes al determinar si necesitan presentar una declaración de impuestos

Mientras las personas se preparan para declarar sus impuestos, hay cosas que se deben considerar. Querrán determinar si necesitan presentar impuestos y la mejor manera de hacerlo.

Para el año tributario 2018, todos los contribuyentes individuales presentarán con el nuevo Formulario 1040. Los Formularios 1040A y 1040EZ ya no están disponibles. Los contribuyentes que previamente presentaron estos formularios ahora presentarán el Formulario 1040. El nuevo Formulario 1040 usa un enfoque de "construcción" que permite a las personas agregar solo los anexos que necesitan para su declaración de impuestos federales de 2018. Los contribuyentes con presentaciones más complicadas deberán completar uno o más de los nuevos Anexos del Formulario 1040 (en inglés). Este grupo de contribuyentes incluye a aquellos que reclaman ciertas deducciones o créditos, o que adeudan impuestos adicionales. 

Puede que las personas que presentaron su declaración de impuestos federales el año pasado de manera electrónica no noten ningún cambio, ya que el software de preparación de impuestos usará automáticamente sus respuestas a las preguntas sobre impuestos para completar el Formulario 1040 y los anexos necesarios.

Aquí hay tres cosas más que las personas deben tener en cuenta cuando se preparan para declarar sus impuestos:

Quién debe presentar una declaración de impuestos. En la mayoría de los casos, los ingresos, el estado civil tributario y la edad determinan si un contribuyente debe presentar una declaración de impuestos. Se pueden aplicar otras reglas si el contribuyente trabaja por cuenta propia o si es dependiente de otra persona. Por ejemplo, si un contribuyente es soltero y menor de 65 años, debe presentar una declaración si su ingreso fue de al menos $12,000. Hay otros casos en que un contribuyente debe presentar una declaración. Los contribuyentes pueden visitar irs.gov/es/filing para obtener más información.
 
Presentar para obtener un reembolso. Incluso si un contribuyente no tiene que presentar una declaración, debe considerar presentar una declaración de impuestos si puede recibir un reembolso. Si un contribuyente responde "sí" a cualquiera de estas preguntas, es posible que se le deba un reembolso:

  • ¿Mi empleador retuvo impuesto federal de mi salario?
  • ¿Hice pagos de impuestos estimados?
  • ¿Pagué de más en mi declaración de impuestos de 2017 y fue aplicado al 2018?
  • ¿Soy elegible para ciertos créditos reembolsables, como el Crédito Tributario por Ingreso del Trabajo?

Los contribuyentes pueden presentar su declaración de forma gratuita. Únase a los millones de estadounidenses que declaran sus impuestos de manera segura y ahorran dinero presentando electrónicamente su declaración de impuestos gratuitamente. El 70 por ciento de los contribuyentes de la nación son elegibles para Free File: Presente su Declaración Federal de Impuestos Gratuitamente. Los socios comerciales del IRS ofrecen software gratuito para aproximadamente 100 millones de personas y familias con ingresos de $66,000 o menos. Los contribuyentes que ganaron más pueden usar los formularios interactivos gratuitos. Esta opción permite a los contribuyentes completar los formularios del IRS de forma electrónica. Es mejor para aquellos que se sienten cómodos haciendo sus propios impuestos.

Los contribuyentes también pueden usar la herramienta Asistente Tributario Interactivo en IRS.gov para responder a muchas preguntas acerca de impuestos. Deben buscar "¿Necesito presentar una declaración?" bajo los temas generales.

Todos los contribuyentes deben guardar una copia de su declaración de impuestos. Los contribuyentes que usan un producto de software por primera vez pueden necesitar el monto de su ingreso bruto ajustado de su declaración de impuestos del año anterior para verificar su identidad. Los contribuyentes pueden obtener más información acerca de cómo verificar su identidad y firmar electrónicamente las declaraciones de impuestos en Verifique su declaración de impuestos después de presentar electrónicamente.

Here's what taxpayers should consider when determining if they need to file


As people prepare to file their taxes, there are things to consider. They will want to determine if they need to file and the best way to do so.

For tax year 2018, all individual taxpayers will file using the new Form 1040. Forms 1040A and 1040EZ are no longer available.  Taxpayers who previously filed these forms will now file Form 1040. The new Form 1040 uses a "building block" approach allowing individuals to add only the schedules they need to their 2018 federal tax return. Taxpayers with more complicated returns will need to complete one or more of the new Form 1040 Schedules. This group of taxpayers includes those who claim certain deductions or credits, or who owe additional taxes.

Individuals who filed their federal tax return electronically last year may not notice any changes, as the tax return preparation software will automatically use their answers to the tax questions to complete the Form 1040 and any needed schedules.

Here are three more things for people to keep in mind as they prepare to file their taxes:

Who is required to file.  In most cases, income, filing status and age determine if a taxpayer must file a tax return. Other rules may apply if the taxpayer is self-employed or if they are a dependent of another person. For example, if a taxpayer is single and younger than age 65, they must file if their income was at least $12,000. There are other instances when a taxpayer must file. Taxpayers can visit IRS.gov/filing for more information.

Filing to get a refund. Even if a taxpayer doesn't have to file, they should consider filing a tax return if they can get money back. If a taxpayer answers "yes" to any of these questions, they could be due a refund:

  • Did my employer withhold federal income tax from my pay?
  • Did I make estimated tax payments?
  • Did I overpay on my 2017 tax return and have it applied to 2018?
  • Am I eligible for certain refundable credits such as, the earned income tax credit

Taxpayers can file for free. Join the millions of Americans who safely file their taxes and save money using IRS Free File. Seventy percent of the nation's taxpayers are eligible for IRS Free File. The IRS's commercial partners offer free brand-name software to about 100 million individuals and families with incomes of $66,000 or less. Taxpayers who earned more can use Free File Fillable Forms. This option allows taxpayers to complete IRS forms electronically. It is best for those who are comfortable doing their own taxes.

Taxpayers can also use the Interactive Tax Assistant tool on IRS.gov to answer many tax questions.. They should look for "Do I need to file a return?" under general topics.

All taxpayers should keep a copy of their tax return. Taxpayers using a software product for the first time may need their adjusted gross income amount from their prior-year tax return to verify their identity. Taxpayers can learn more about how to verify their identity and electronically sign tax returns at Validating Your Electronically Filed Tax Return.

IRS.gov is the first place to go for tax help

Taxpayers are encouraged to visit IRS.gov for helpful tax information and tools that can make filing taxes easier. Here are some things taxpayers can do when they visit IRS.gov:

  • Use IRS Free File. Taxpayers with income of $66,000 or less can file using free brand-name tax software through IRS Free File. Those who earned more can use Free File Fillable Forms, the electronic version of IRS paper forms. Either way, everyone has a free e-file option.

  • Explore other electronic filing options. IRS e-file, which includes Free File, is the easiest, safest and most popular way to file a complete and accurate tax return. The fastest way to get a refund is to combine e-file with direct deposit. On IRS.gov, taxpayers can see if they qualify for free tax preparation help by volunteers, find software options to e-file their own taxes, and find an authorized e-file provider.

  • Find a tax preparer. Taxpayers can use the Directory of Tax Return Preparers tool to find tax preparers near them.

  • Get answers to tax questions. The Interactive Tax Assistant tool and the IRS Tax Map answer many tax-law questions. Many IRS tools and products are also available in other languages, including Spanish.

  • Check on a refund. The best way to  track the status of a refund is to use Where's My Refund? Taxpayers can check the status of their refund within 24 hours after the IRS has received the e-filed return. Those who file a paper return can check the refund status four weeks after mailing it.

  • Pay taxes online. Taxpayers will find information about different ways to pay their taxes. This includes IRS Direct Pay, electronic funds withdrawal, and payment by debit or credit card.

  • Use the EITC Assistant. Taxpayers who worked and earned less than $54,884 in 2018 may be eligible for the earned income tax credit. Taxpayers can use the EITC Assistant tool to see if they qualify.

  • Use Get Transcript. Taxpayers who need a copy of their original tax return information may use Get Transcript Online or Get Transcript by Mail. A transcript shows most line items from your return, which is usually all you need.

  • View account information. Taxpayers can go to IRS.gov/account to securely access information about their federal tax account. They can also visit this page to access their tax records online, review the past 18 months of payment history, and view tax return information for the current year. Taxpayers can visit IRS.gov/secureaccess to review the required identity authentication process.
