Tax returns are documentations that need to be filed with tax authorities, like the IRS, state, and local cities, and includes reporting of income, expenses, and other relevant financial information in order to determine the tax liability (if any). The IRS classifies returns as “Tax Returns” or “Information Returns”.

Tax returns are generally prepared using forms, provided by the IRS. A standard federal tax form is Form 1040, with different variations such as 1040NR and 1040PR. In most cases, there are supplemental forms to be filed as well. It is highly recommended to go to a tax professional to ensure error-free returns. Filing a return with incorrect information, it can result in civil and criminal penalties.

Information returns are forms filed by third-parties, government entities, and are used to notify taxpayers and government agencies about tax liabilities. Information returns transmit information about income, receipts, and other financial matters which affect tax liabilities. An example of an information return is Form 1099, used for self-employment, and Form W-2, used for employees.
