Do I need to file taxes if I didn’t earn any income?

In most cases, if you are an Arizona resident and did not earn any income, you will not need to file taxes. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. If you are self-employed and earned any income from freelance or contract work, you must file a tax return even if you did not make a profit. Additionally, if you received any taxable income such as interest, dividends, or Social Security payments in the previous year, you must include this income when filing your tax return. Additionally, certain credits and deductions may also require you to file a return, even if you did not make any money. For example, if you are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, you may be required to file a tax return even if your income was minimal or non-existent. It is also important to keep in mind that even though you may not need to file a tax return, you should still keep accurate records of your income and expenses. This will help you to quickly and easily respond to any questions or requests for information from the Arizona Department of Revenue.
