Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'income' and 'tax' specify the type of 'return' (a formal document), so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer it refers to the tax document reporting income. This is a standard administrative compound that uses the literal senses of its parts and is cross-linguistically common, making it transparent to B1 learners.
Etymology
The phrase income tax return may come from an older meaning of the word return, which meant 'to report' information to officials. So an income tax return is literally a form where you give your income details to the tax office, and that is why it means the official paper you file.
