Tax Return
A form or forms filed with a tax authority that report income, expenses, and other pertinent tax information. Tax returns are fundamental to the tax system, allowing authorities to assess and collect the correct amount of tax from individuals and entities.
They also provide an opportunity for taxpayers to claim deductions, credits, and allowances, potentially reducing their tax liability. The accuracy and timeliness of tax return submissions are crucial for maintaining compliance with tax laws and avoiding penalties.
