Do I need to file a 2015 federal income tax return?

This is a simple question but much like the rest of our tax law, the answer is complicated.

In addition, you may likely want to file a tax return in a number of circumstances even if you are not required to do so.

Kelly Erb does a great job in explaining this topic in Forbes and so I plan to refer to this article rather than other available resources this tax season.
