My reading is that if you aren't required to file a tax return, this thing creating a dummy simplified one won't hurt you.
But if you are required to file one, you are likely to need a real one, and the dummy one will conflict with it. But it sounds like if you file a real one, you don't need this form, and this form is only for people who wouldn't otherwise file.
But the gist of the article - that the website is implausibly bad - seems correct.
- recursive 5y agoThat would require that a "simplified tax return" is not a "tax return". If that's the intention, it seems to fly directly in the face of the common use of the English language. Generally {ADJECTIVE} {NOUN} is a specific category of a {NOUN}. If they're using some domain-specific jargon that violates that, it strains credulity that they would expect anyone to understand it.
- bruckie 5y agoEven if you're not required to file a return (e.g. because you have no income), you are still allowed to file. I think the site helps you file (to claim a credit) even if you're not required to file.
