Question

So I was unemployed in 2022 and didn’t think I needed to file a return but the IRS website looks like it is still waiting for me to file. What should I do? Ty

I don’t want to get in trouble for not filing but I didn’t work and only made a few thousand dollars selling personal items. Lived off my savings mostly.

What makes you think the IRS shows you need to file? Did you get any 1099 forms?

Do you need to file a return?

Hi. Thnx 4 the fast reply. When I log onto my ITS website account, it says “⚠️ Your 2022 tax return is not processed.” I don’t think I got a 1099. I’m still dealing with a mistake I made filing w/ Turbo Tax last October.
I will try those links. Ty

It says not processed because you didn't file one. Not that you need to file a return. Did you get unemployment or have health insurance from the Marketplace? You might need to file for those.

You are also required to file a tax return if you took money out of a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Medical Savings Account (MSA).

I don’t have a medi-cal savings or health care savings account. I just had Medi-Cal & Denti-Cal and saw a dr once or twice for my Epilepsy to get prescription refilled and a bunch of dental work done. But I also had to pay like $600 out of pocket for stuff Denti-Cal didn’t cover.

You mentioned you made a few thousand dollars selling stuff. There’s a filing requirement for self employment when you reach $400. What were you selling?

Mostly clothes. If I made over $400, do I have to file as self employed? If so, don’t they charge a minimum of like $1,200 to file self employed? I didn’t even make $1,200… but I did make a bit over $600-$700

The other little money I made was from selling a few personal belongings on FB Mrktplace like a JBL Speaker, an American Flag, and two pieces of artwork that I bought prints and had them matted n framed. Those sold on Ebay for like $1,100 & $800.
