Question

Joshua has electronically filed returns for several clients. He now has a client who needs to file form 8885 for health coverage tax credit. Joshua knows this form cannot be electronically filed. The form will need to be mailed to the IRS. What does Joshua need to send to the IRS with his client's form 8885?

a) Form W-2

b) Form 8453

c) A copy of the taxpayer's return

d) All income statements

Answer 1

Answer :- Option c). A copy of the taxpayer's return.

Explanation :- Along with form 8885, The only supporting document required is copy of return of tax payer. Without attaching return copy, The claim for health coverage tax credit (using simply form 8885) will not be entertained i.e., dis-allowed directly. There is no requirement of any other document like Form W-2, Form 8453, Income statement etc., as mentioned in options a, b and d. Therefore, The correct answer for the given question is option (c) only i.e., A copy of the taxpayer's return.
