I am not in an open bankruptcy proceeding

I have filed all required federal tax returns.

I have filed all required federal tax returns, including Form 1040 and any associated schedules that report my income, deductions, credits, and other financial information to the Internal Revenue Service. This means I have submitted every annual return I was obligated to file, along with all supporting forms—such as Schedules A, B, C, or others—ensuring the IRS has a complete and accurate record of my tax filings for each applicable year.

I have made all required estimated tax payments.

I have made all required estimated tax payments, meaning I submitted quarterly payments to the IRS throughout the year to cover income that was not subject to withholding—such as self-employment income, interest, dividends, or business earnings. These payments were made according to IRS guidelines using the estimated tax system outlined in Form 1040-ES, ensuring that I met my obligations to pay taxes as income was earned.
