Part One -
The Income Tax Return
The four chapters in this part provide basic information on the tax system. They take you through the first steps of filling
out a tax
return— such as deciding what your filing status is, how many exemptions you can take, and what form to file. They also discuss
recordkeeping
requirements, IRS e-file (electronic filing), certain penalties, and the two methods used to pay tax during the year: withholding
and
estimated tax.
