income tax return
April tax paperwork
An income tax return is a form filed with tax authorities reporting income, deductions, and tax owed for a given year.
Filing a return allows taxpayers to calculate whether they owe additional tax or are due a refund: I need to file my income tax return by April 15th.
Often shortened to tax return or simply return.
