Question

As a realtor I used self employed forms. I had no income from this in 2022, can I use the short Easy form or do I need to show closure by using the self employed forms?

If you reported your income on Schedule C in previous years, and have no income to report in 2022, then you simply do not include Schedule C on your return.  There are no reporting requirements for you to say you had no income for the year. 

 

Also, under current tax law, there are no "easy" forms.  Everyone files a 1040.  If there are extras to report, then various schedules are attached to the form.  So, if you had no self-employment income this year, you will just file a regular 1040 form without the attached Schedule C.
