How do I find this out? I am a dependent and I am filing my 1040EZ form. I know I haven't made enough to owe.

I think your a bit late in filing.\n\nAt any rate The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) sometimes called the Earned Income Credit (EIC), is a refundable federal income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. Congress originally approved the tax credit legislation in 1975 in part to offset the burden of social security taxes and to provide an incentive to work. When the EITC exceeds the amount of taxes owed, it results in a tax refund to those who claim and qualify for the credit.\n\nTo qualify, taxpayers must meet certain requirements and file a tax return, even if they did not earn enough money to be obligated to file a tax return.\n\nThe EITC has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most cases, EITC payments will not be used to determine eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), food stamps, low-income housing or most Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) payments.\n\nMore info here: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96406,00.html

I think he's still supposed to file taxes even without making any money last year. My fiance sorta did the same thing. He had a business that didn't recieve incoming or outgoing income and he got a letter saying that he still needs to file every year. As for FAFSA, there is an option to select to file taxes later and if you select that then after April FAFSA will send you an email or letter asking you to update any information so that it is accurate after your taxes have been filed. Tomorrow is the deadline to recieve grants. You can still recieve grants if you submit after the deadline, but you have a slim chance of actually recieving any,  but you will still qualify for loans or work studies. I suggest you call them and see what you need to do, but don't panic because its not too late taxes aren't due until April. Remember that anytime you need to contact financial-aid offices that you'll need several hours to get through and figure everything out. Is the verification through your school or through FAFSA? You might need to go to the school and go to their financial aid office (that might be better because then you can ask them what they suggest that you do). Go tomorrow so its not too late! Try not to go on Mondays or Fridays and try to go early in the morning! Good Luck!

It depends on your income and how many dependents you have as to how much money you will get back. They should withhold 258.74 in fed taxes if you claim 0 exemptions

You usually don't have to file taxes if your income is less than $8,200 single, $16,400 married. More than that, and Uncle Sam wants a return, even if you owe no tax. You might be able to exclude your income under for Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, but you still have to file the return.\n\nThe good news is that if you don't owe any tax and you do file the returns voluntarily, you won't owe penalties because the penalties are based on underpaid taxes.

You owe them money because your tax liability was more than you paid in. It sounds like you may need to lessen your exemptions down to 1 or 0 if you can. That way, they'll take more out during the year and you should be covered on next years taxes. No, you didn't do anything wrong-this happens to people every year, especially if you live at home with parents or someone else who can claim head of household. Same thing used to happen to me every year when I lived at home. Start saving money, you have no choice but to pay it!\n\nUpdate:\nYou did live with someone else in the year that these taxes are for, so you can't claim a sole provider status, which is what I was trying to say. If you don't pay the money by the 15th, then you start getting into late fees and interest penalties, so they get more money out of you in the long wrong. Try to contact them and work something out.

They should be mailing you your W2 by the end of this month. They must send it by Jan 31 (post marked). If they do not send it then, contact the IRS.

If you make less than $8200 and your parents don't claim you as a dependent, you do not have to file a return. Then you should claim "exempt" on your W-4 form, so they won't take any taxes out. Because you will have no tax liability.\nIf your parents still claim you as a dependent, you have to make over $5000 before you must file a return. \n\nNo matter how much you make, if you continue to have taxes taken out, and file a return, you will get back everything that you paid in.  Because your Adj. Gross Income is so small it will not be taxable.\n\nHope this helps.

The form that must be filed is a 1040X (for an individual, just add X to the end of the form number fr other entities).  Go to irs.gov, under forms and publications you can find the form and the instructions which should be helpful.  If you need more you might do a search of the sight for the words "amended return" for other publications.

Some of your answers posted are incorrect.\n\nMost states work off a system similar to the Federal/IRS system.\nThis means you have three years from April 15 of the year following the year you are reporting.\nFor example, you have until April 15, 2008 to file a return for tax year 2004 (originally due on April 15, 2005).  Since most states share electronic information with the IRS, if you are in good standing with them, the state will notify you by letter of any amount due.\nIf they owe -you- money, they will -not- notify you.  You only have three years to claim an amount owed to you.\n\nState penalties for tax avoidance are in most cases much less than Federal penalties.\n\nMost employers automatically withhold the proper amount (within a few dollars) of your state taxes owed.  If you had federal taxes withheld from your check and filed a federal return, you should really not worry about it at all.\n\nIf you are self-employed, or had employees working for your business, it is a whole other story.  You should then consider hiring a tax expert or attorney as in these cases the possibility of severe fines and penalties can be real.\n\nOtherwise, don't worry about the state issue unless they contact you.\n\nI hope this has been helpful.

You still need to file, and would be better if you do it before they contact you (and if you had income that was reported, they will eventually, by which time you'll owe even more in interest and penalties.\n\nYou should always file even if you don't have the money to pay.  If you can't pay right away, they'll set up a payment plan, and yes, you'll be charged interest.\n\nYou're not going to be in some kind of major trouble, so don't worry about that.  Just go ahead and file, or contact the IRS and tell them your situation.  If they get your return without a check, they'll contact you to set up a plan to pay.

I filed anyway one year, when I only made like $6,000-$7,000 and I got back over $600. I was very surprised. You might do it online for kicks just to see if you have anything coming to you. If not just leave it unfiled. Good luck !

I would contact H and R Block. They might have screwed up the paper work or something. Either way since the prepared and filed your taxes they should be able to track them.

call the IRS line 800-829-1040, they will be more than happy to assist you. If you are in a payment plan, you can call the same number and request a payment transcript from the IRS. This will show the payments made, interest added, and the total amount owed at any given time
