Best Answer

A sixteen year old can file income tax and, if the 16 year old had sufficient income, the 16 year old must file tax. There are no upper or lower age limits on income tax obligations.

Even if the 16 year old didn't owe any tax, if taxes were withheld from the 16 year old's wages, the 16 year old should file in order to receive a refund.
