What is Tax Liability?

A tax liability is an amount that is owed by the government at the time of filing income tax returns. Tax liability includes income earned through taxes and capital gains on assets, which are based on the brackets. These brackets are determined by various factors. 

A Tax liability can only be owned by the business, individual, or any entity that owes to a local tax authority or state tax authority, and also to the federal government. 

In general, you will have tax liability when you earn money or get profits by selling any assets or investments.
