Is there an income threshold under which I don’t need to pay taxes?
Reporting thresholds and tax liability are different, so it's important to know both.
The Narrative
The Empathy
You make a small amount each year and wonder if it even counts for tax purposes. The rules feel confusing and sometimes contradictory.
The Education
Income thresholds can determine whether you must file a tax return, but they do not always eliminate tax liability. For example, self-employment taxes can apply at lower income levels, and sales tax rules are separate from income tax rules. The best approach is to track all income and expenses, then confirm the thresholds that apply to your filing status and business structure.
The Solution
Keep a simple income ledger and review current IRS and state guidance each year. If your income is near a threshold, consider speaking with a tax professional to confirm your obligations. Clear records help you file accurately and avoid surprises.
