If I make less than $2000, do I have to file a tax return?

You probably have no tax liability, but you may qualify for Earned income tax credit whether or not you have children. \nBased on 2,000 income with no children that could be as much as $155! But you must file a return to get the credit.

Go to IN.GOV It looks like you might if you are single with no dependents. Look under individual when you get to the web site. Then requirement to file. It tells you what the exemption amount is.

only if you are below the tax free threshold of $6001 or have deductions that will take it below that. (thats why you pay tax during the year so the tax dept. dont hit you with the bill at the end)

no, not usually.  you may need the hard copy of last years return.  however, if you did your return online then you should be able to access your return. then yes.\n\notherwise no.  if you do not have the hard copy of your taxes, contact the irs and let them know you need a copy.  they will mail it to you once you prove who you are.  do this asap as it usually takes 4-6 weeks to receive the information.

Um...if you are asking if you should file your taxes from 2 years ago...I suppose the answer would be that you should have filed then 2 years ago.

File your taxes.  I run a home based business (graphic design) and learned the hard way.  I made $396 in my first year (started in December of that year), and didn't see the need it was small.\n\nI got a HUGE fine from the IRS.  Luckily I got it cleared because I had an atty do the work, but I learned - no matter how small, report it.  It isn't worth the headache.

If they owe you, you can file at any time without a problem.  I didn't file in 2000, but I filed in 2001 with both returns, and got a HUGE payment.  It was awesome.

The IRS does not allow you to file w/o a w-2 until after Feb. 15th, however, @ Jackson Hewitt, they have what is called a prefile Money Now. It begins on Dec. 29th and you come in w/your last pay stub of the yr. and they give you an estimate of what your refund will be and you can leave with part of your refund in your hand!  When you get your w-2 you go back in and they actually do the return, send it to the IRS, and take the part you've already got and the tax prep fees out of the rest of your refund.

Fear not. If you made less than $3000 you'll get it all back when you do your taxes

No, you do not need to file your tax return first, although it would be more helpful.  Just fill out the FAFSA with rough estimates (use last year's tax return to estimate).  When you do file your tax return, you can go back to FAFSA and edit your info.  So don't worry. =)

Since the government owes you and you dont have income then you can file at any time. you can go back as long as you need to\n\nIt is in your interest to file early however because you may qualify for refunds.\n\nufile on the web or ufile packages in stores will do it

Check at the library--they frequently hae access to that type of information. Also you probably don't have to file. You only have to file if your income is at a certain level. You may want to file though because you may be due a refund.

If you are married, you should file as married. It is not a garauntee you will get a huge return whether you file single or married. Depends on your income and how many deductions you have and /or any dependants that you claim. If you and your spouses income is not over a certain amount combined , I think the limit is $80,000, thats together, I think you should still get a good return if you file together. Hope for a big return for you. Make sure a professional does your taxes this year since you are newly married. Go over the return after the process, and next year you should be able to see what to do and what not to do, you can do them on your on if you like.

I think you only need to fill out a tax return if you earned money during the year.  But there are ways of earning money without working, such as interest income from a savings or checking account.  If you have any of this you have to fill out a tax return.

It depends on how much you made. If you made over $7000 each year then yes, you need to file your back taxes ASAP. You will not have to pay it all at once. You can pay installments. Just hurry and do it before you get audited and fined.

It really depends on your deductions.  I usually suggest to employees, family and friends that they claim 1 less deduction than allowed.  In your case, if you are married, filing jointly with 0 dependents, you say you can't claim any children, you should have the highest wage earner claim 1 deduction and the lower wage earner claim 0.  You should, at the end of the year, end up either getting a small refund, or owing a small amount, $100 - $200.  You should be filing a full form 1040, not the 1040EZ or any short form, and claim all the deductions that you can.  I usually resolve tracking my deductions by using a home accounting program such as Microsoft Money or Quicken.  It is just like using a check book, but keeps track of where your money goes.  It also makes reconciling your checkbook monthly very simple.  At the end of the year, I use a tax preparation program such as Turbo Tax, which interfaces with Quicken, and summarizes everything very quickly.  The only time that I have had to pay any taxes in the past 10 years is when I sold rental property and made a tremendous profit.

Yes you still need to file a return.
