Janitor Bob Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 I apologize if this has been addressed, but I searched and could not find it. Can we e-file returns with zero income or do we need to add $1 for it to be accepted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I've always added $1. I have clients living outside the USA who can exclude all earned income and don't earn interest (some European banks are charging interest to hold funds!). We add $1 or we can't e-file.

TexTaxToo Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 If there is a refund, you can e-file with zero AGI. If no refund and no income, you cannot e-file. (See Rev. Proc. rp-22-12 Section 4 for the IRS approved method of adding $1 interest.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
