This is the IRS website page on who needs to file. Answer the questions and it will tell you.

Go to IRS.GOV for any clarification. I have been doing tax returns for 36 years and I am here to tell you that if she made 3832.94 then it should be reported and taxes paid. In point of fact it is more likely that she will have a refund due her but without more information I can't tell you how much. Depends on filing status, children or not, your income and so on. Don't listen to free advice from they as they usually are not there to pay for any mistakes. Get a 1040 instruction book and look for yourself.

If you file a joint return, yes, since you have to file all income for either person.

If you are filing as married filing separately, then she is required to file if she had income over $3300.

The floor for being required to file for a person who is single, under 65 and not a dependent if $8450, and that might be what the people who are telling you wrong are thinking of. Since you refer to "wife" she obviously is not single, and the only choices for filing status are married joint or married filing separately.

Get a copy of the instructions for the 1040, or download it from irs.gov. At the bottom of page 12, there's a chart that shows the filing requirements. There are a couple other charts on the next page that have additional requirements for special situations, but you fit into Chart A, on page 12.

Tax advice on Yahoo Answers is spotty at best. A lot of people respond to questions who don't really have a knowledge of tax law, and many questions get as many wrong answers as right.

If you file a joint return, you must include ALL income from both of you on the return. Your joint income determines whether or not you must file a return. For 2006 if your combined income was $16,900 or more you MUST file a return.

In most cases, filing a joint return will result in the lowest tax although there are rare exceptions.

If you are married and file separate returns, you each must file if your individual income was $3,300 or more. Since your wife made more than that she MUST file if you are filing separate returns.


truthspeaker007
i always thought you had to make more that 10,000 and if not then it was cool


You ask, I answer
i would think that depending on how she made the money would make the difference. if she waitressed, then she still needs to pay taxes. go on the IRS website.

Yes. You always need to file tax returns. She probably won't have to pay any income tax, but they will need to see that she paid all of her social security tax.
