A dependent on another taxpayer income tax return with unearned income interest, dividends, capital gains, gross rental income, taxable social security benefits, unemployment compensation, gambling winning and misc income, etc of more than 950 must file an income tax return and report all worldwide income on the 1040 tax return

A self employed taxpayer would be required to file an income tax return if business operation had a net profit of 400 and pay the social security and Medicare taxes that would be due plus any income tax that may be due after adding the net profit to all other gross income on the 1040 tax form and the amounts would be subject to income tax at the marginal tax rates.

The must file an income tax return requirement for the year 2009 would be in the 2009 1040 instruction book starting on page 7 through 9 and the book is available at the enclosed web site.

Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for 1040 and choose instruction

What is the maximum income in Illinois for a w-2 employee can make before its required to report it to IRS?

If a single taxpayer and NOT a dependent on another individuals income tax return for the year 2009 you could have up to 9350 of gross worldwide income from all sources before you would be required to file a federal 1040 income tax return.


How much can a student child make before they file taxes?

Everyone who has federal or state tax withheld from their income (Form W-2, box 2 and 17) should at least fill out a return to see if they are owed a refund. If so, they should file to get their money back. Since most children who are students are their parent's dependent (claimed as a dependent on their parent's tax return), I'm going with that assumption. All dependents have the same filing requirements, whether a student or not. If a student makes less than the federal standard deduction, they generally don't have to file unless they want a refund of federal or state taxes withheld from their pay. The federal standard deduction for a single person changes every year and is $5,800 for 2011. There may also be a requirement to file if the dependent has a significant amount of investment income (over $950). See IRS Form 1040 instructions for filing requirements for children and other dependents for more details. Remember that your state may have different filing requirements, so a person may be required to file a state return even though they aren't required to file a federal return.
