If your only income is social security but you took a loss selling your home do you file income tax?
Probably not, assuming it was your personal residence and not an investment or rental property and you never claimed a home office deduction. But if you get a 1099-S for the sale of the home, you should file a return and list the sale on Schedule D and show your basis to inform the IRS whether you had a profit or a loss on the sale. (They don't know if you don't show them and will presume that 100% of the sale price was a profit unless you file Schedule D.) If the house was a personal use property (you lived in the house), you cannot claim a capital loss. If the house was not a personal use property, then you can claim a capital loss. Even though you might not have any income to offset this year, you should be able to carry over some or all of the loss and it might prove useful in the future. You need to file in order to claim the loss. If you ever claimed depreciation (it was a rental property or you took the home office deduction), then you need to recapture the depreciation. You should file in that case.
Can you claim a dependent with no income?
Yes you can it just depends what agency you file your taxes with
My child earned 1352 in 2008 I tried doing her taxes but she can't claim herself I did and the standard deduction is 4 times more than she earned Does she still file?
She would have to file a federal return if she had self-employment income of $400 or more or if she had unearned income (income from a source other than employment or self-employment) of $900 or more. Assuming she is under 65 and not blind, her standard deduction is no more than the amount of her earned income plus $900, but not more than $5450. I noticed a lot of the online tax calculators don't get that right. But be warned that a lot of states have a filing threshold that is much lower than that and you usually have to compute your federal taxes first in order to compute your state taxes even if you don't actually file your federal taxes. A remember that if she had any tax withheld, she needs to file to get a refund even if filing is not required.
If you are seventy years old and your children pay most of your expenses do you still have to file income tax forms?
Probably not. Generally whether have you to file an income tax return depends upon your filing status and your income. Single age 65 or older is required to file when gross income is at least $10,300 in 2008 ($10,750 in 2009). Whether or not you live with your children, they could claim you as a dependent if your gross income is less than $3,500 in 2008 ($3,650 in 2009).For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 501 (Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information).
Can an independent college student that is employed file his income tax after his mom whom already file and used him as her dependent because she financially sponsored his expenses?
Yes you can--and must if you meet the requirements--file even though your mom claimed you. You will not be able to claim your own personal exemption ($3650 for 2010) but will still get the standard deduction of $5700. If your income is below that amount you may still want to file to get a refund of any Federal or State tax withheld.
