Generally, most citizens who work in the United States must file a 2024 tax return, says the IRS. However, it is possible that you have no obligation to file during the 2025 tax season because you had really low earnings.
Therefore, you must be wondering if you could take advantage of any tax credit the IRS offers in 2025. The Agency claims that even if you make less than the income that is required to file a 2024 tax return, you may get some money back from the Internal Revenue Service.
