Your Tax Question - 079

Dear John, How much do I have to earn before I have to file a tax return.  I am a single college student who works at a restaurant, and I live with my parents.  Thanks, Jim T.

Hi Jim,


Basically if you earn more than $3,650 you are required to file a tax return.  There are nuances in the code (there is always nuances in the code) but that is the general income requirement.  You can refer to IRS Publication 501 to help you further or you may email me and I can help - it's kinda what I do.  http://www.irs.gov/publications/p501/ar02.html#en_US_2010_publink1000220708


Thank you,
John
