He does not need to, but he should anyway because he will get back all of his federal withholdings. Form 1040-EZ.
Don't forget to have him do a state return also so he gets all or most of that money back too. |

If they withheld taxes, he should file a 1040EZ - he should get some if not all of them back. |

I think he would have to file at least an EZ form. |

He should get a W4 form in the mail. He needs to complete the 1040EZ form. It's so easy that he can even do the paper version and mail it. I did that until I got married and got a house and then taxes got more complicated. |

Your Son does not have to file a Federal Income Tax return.
BUT..if your Son had Federal Income Tax withheld and would like to receive a refund of that money then he will want to file a 1040-EZ. The 2008 1040-EZ can be found at www.irs.gov under the forms section.
If you live in a state that requires you to file a tax return then the same situation applies. If he had state income tax withheld and would like to have a refund then he will have to a file state income tax return. |

If they took out social security and medicare from his paychecks, then he doesn't have to file. But if they withheld anything for federal income tax. he should file to get it refunded. He'd get a W-2 from his employer, and file form 1040EZ.
If they didn't take out ss and medicare, then yes he has to file - he won't owe any income tax, but will owe self employment tax for ss and medicare. he'd file form 1040, and schedules C or C-EZ, and SE. |

I believe the answer is yes, he should be filing. His dependency status doesn't matter, nor does his student status. If he was paid, as in on the books not under the table, he needs to file.
If he has a W2, I'd probably just use the 1040 EZ. |

You need to prepare a tax return for you claiming him as a dependent and his income and a second without him as a dependent.
The tax laws have changed and he may or may not qualify as a dependent.
I had a daughter in H.S.,at 17-I could claim her and at 18 I couldn't even though she was still in H.S.
Then I got to claim her at 19,even though she was not a student or in college.
His income is the reason to figure it both ways to get the best results.
He may even get more money back filing alone than on your return. |

Was he self employed or working for someone else during this time-frame?
Refer to the page I linked to below.
Per this page, "married couples both under age 65 generally are not required to file until their joint income reaches $17,500. However self-employed individuals generally must file a tax return if their net income from self employment was at least $400."
so I think he could get away with not filing if he isn't self-employed, but I still think he should if taxes have been withheld from his checks and is a student. He should be able to get some cash back even if he is not claiming himself as a dependent and you are.
His taxes are probably simple and could probably be done at home. |

yes he does. Even if he owes no taxes he must file with both state and federal and probably local as well. The federal form you'll want to look for is the 1040EZ. The state and local forms vary depending on where your permanent address is. Check your local library for those, they should all carry them. |

yes, he still has to fill out tax returns but he could fill it out with you on the count that he still a dependent |
