Do you ever. From the minute you were born you were in debt to the U.S. government {long story}. After you die, you will pay taxes. It's labeled by the IRS as "income in respect to decedent". Any way, there are at least 3 situations that come to my mind as to why you may have to file:
1 - You had income, even if as little as $10. Look at the tax table.
I had a paper route when I was little and did not know that I had to pay taxes on that tiny commission that I received. The IRS says it's income. There are very few situations in which the income is "nontaxable income".
2 - You are a nominee. A "nominee" means someone has been building money for you in an investment, such as a U.S. Savings Bond, stock, stock fund, mutual fund, exchange traded fund - a vast number of possibilities. If it's in your name and the social security number assigned to you is your correct social security number, you will owe tax on the interest, if any; dividends, if any. If it's a mutual fund, there well may be some capital gains even though your grandparents or whomever didn't sell any. Mutual funds and stock funds buy and sell and they don't have to pay income tax. The investors do.
3- I've attached a Link below. Your parents or grandparents may have an investment account. They can assign some of the capital gains { that means profit on the investment} to you. The savings is tiny, but every little bit helps. So some taxpayers fill out that form. You are old enough to be able to sign it.

If you worked, you have to file to get the taxes back that were withheld from your actual pay { called "gross pay"}.

It depends on how much you made. If you made over $5350, you are required to file. If you made less than that, you don't have to, but if anything was withheld for federal income tax (see box 2 of your W-2) you should file and that amount will be refunded to you.

Actaully its at 8k now,

For 2007 tax returns, individuals younger than age 65 must file if they make at least:

* $8,750 as single filers.
* $11,250 as head of household filers.
* $17,500 as married couples filing jointly and both husband and wife are younger than 65.

Not enough information to say for sure. The requirement to file a tax return depends upon your income and the source of the income, not your age. Assuming that you can be calimed as a dependent by your parents, you MUST file a tax return if your income from wages subject to withholding is $5,350 or more in 2007. If you had self-employment income of $400 or more, you'd be required to file.

Even if your income is below the filing requirement amount you should still file a return if any Federal income taxes were withheld from your wages in order to have those refunded to you.

Contrary to what at least one other respondent claims, you are NOT entitled to any payment under the economic stimulus plan since you are a dependent. Dependents don't qualify.

Yes, if you paid taxes while working, you still have to file em. And why wouldnt you, it means you get all the money back you paid to the governement for being a minor and a fulltime student. ^.^

Absolutely. If they took taxes out of your paycheck, and you didn't make over $3,500, I think that's what it is, check with a tax preparer, you get it all back.

If you claimed 0 or 1 on any of your tax forms you should.

Yes, if you paid any taxes in you should file a return as you will most likely get all if not most of the money back. You will not be able to claim yourself as a dependent, but you should still get all the money back you paid in. When I was 17 my state tax return was 10 cents, but I got 75 back from Federal.


Bill .
Make sure you file even if you don't get any money back. You have to file a tax return to get your Economic Stimulus rebate, unless you are a dependent on someone elses tax return.

Correction: bostonianinmo is partially right, the cut-off for the rebate is 17 years old. Your parents will get the rebate.
