What is a tax return?

A tax return is a formal document or set of documents filed with a tax authority, such as the IRS in the United States, that reports income, expenses, and other relevant financial information. Individuals and businesses use tax returns to calculate their tax liability, schedule tax payments, or request refunds for overpaid taxes. Filing a tax return is usually required annually and helps ensure compliance with tax laws. The information provided on a tax return is used by tax authorities to assess whether the correct amount of tax has been paid.
