Whether or not you file a tax return is determined by how much money you made. That's it. How old you are doesn't matter. I filed my first tax return when I was 16. I didn't earn enough to *have* to file, either. I didn't make enough money to have to pay taxes and I wanted my refund :D

As for taking along a parent ... how you file is up to you. I would think if your parents really wanted a say in it they would have brought it up to you by now, and you might not have a parent who makes good decisions when it comes to taxes. If you need help, find someone you trust who is knowledgeable.

Oh, and the tax year is January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.

I know that in Maryland, if you made over 5,000 all together dollars with any job you can.

Yes, you can file at 17 - or younger. If you are a dependent of someone, like your parents, you are required to file if you made over $5150. If you're not a dependent of anyone, then you can make up to $8450 before you are required to file.

If you had money withheld for federal taxes but aren't required to file, you should file anyway to get the withholding refunded to you.


HaiNanDaoBoy
yes you can,,,,if you want your refund of federal or state income tax you should file your taxes and they maybe give some back to you..


babiluv
yes with the help of your parents

If you are working, you can file taxes, I've been filing since I was 14 years old, during the year, claim 1 and then at the end of the year when you do taxes, claim 0 and that way you get all of your money back. They're going to take the money out of your check regardless, there's no reason why you shouldn't file your taxes.

They calculate per calender year... Jan. 01 - Dec. 31

If you have proof that you had taxes taken out of your check, and you are legally working, you dont need your parents but it would be a good idea to take one of them with you, since it is your first time filing. This way you get everything you deserve back.


texas_red50@sbcglobal.net
I don't know for sure, but I think it would depend on the legal adult age for the state you live in. Call H&R Block and ask them. They should be able to tell you what you want to know.


sista the unappreciated soul
yes you can. as long as you didn't file exempt.
