Best Answer

No. Simply receiving taxable income (whether or not it's reported to you on a Form W-2 or 1099), doesn't mean you're required to file a tax return. You are only required to file a tax return if your total income (which includes all income whether it's reported on a 1099 or W-2, or not) is more than the threshold for your filing status. See the filing requirements chart in your tax booklet for the threshold amounts. It's different for the IRS and state taxes, so you may not be required to file a federal return, but still required to file a state return. Regardless of your income, if you had tax withheld and expect a refund or qualify for refundable tax credits, like EIC, you'll want to file anyhow.
