Can an unemployed single mom and college student get a tax refund check?
Well, that depends. The tax refunds that people get every year are income tax, which is so named because it is based on income. If you are unemployed, or without income, there may not be a lot of tax there to refund. The idea of a refund is that you get back what you paid in the first place. If you had no income, then a refund is unlikely, although depending on whatever other source of income it is that enables you to survive, it is possible. Just fill out the 1040EZ to see how it works out in your situation.
Will you get a Bigger refund if status married but withholding at single rate?
You should. Single people pay more income tax than married people. If you withhold at the single rate, you are withholding far more than you need to, therefore giving you a larger refund.
How many years do you have to file your income taxes if you are getting a refund?
It doesn't matter if you receive an income tax refund or not. The fact is is you worked and had federal and state taxes taken out you would need to file your taxes every year. However, much depends on your filing status (single, married, etc) and how much you made that year on whether you would file. To be on the safe side if you had federal and state taken out of your checks you should file.
Do I file a tax return if I only made 8000 gross income and I'm single and 21 years old?
You're not required to file a return for your Single filing status if your 2008 income is less than $8,950 (or less than $9,350 for 2009). Even though you're not required to file, you should file if income tax was withheld from your earnings in order to receive a refund of that tax. Also, if you're eligible for certain credits (such as earned income), you should file even when not required
Can dependents file taxes?
Yes. The IRS has income guidelines for determining whether dependents are required to file their own tax returns. Generally, for 2008 income, dependents are required to file if single under 65 with earned income of over $5,450 ($5,700 for 2009) or if married under 65 with earned income of over $6,800 ($7,100 for 2008). Even if your income is below the level requiring you to file, you should file if income tax was withheld from your earnings in order to receive a refund of that tax.

How much income would you get as a single parent on income support?
The judge will be the one that will decide the how much if any income support you may be qualified to receive from the payer of the support amount.
How much money can a single person make in one year and still get a tax refund?
The amount, high or low, of earnings makes no difference as to if you get a refund or if you have to pay more. The accuracy of what was withheld or (your required quarterly estimated payments) to what your taxable income (an amount that is different than earnings) will be is the issue. Someone making a very large income fairly regularly has a very large refund. If for no other reason than it becomes more difficult to figure out how much they need withheld from their pay. Or alternatively, they can be underpaid and owe more, because they have income from sources that don't withhold.
Do you have to file a federal income tax return if you only made less than 3000?
Usually no. If you're Single under 65 and your gross income is under $8,950 for 2008 (under $9,350 for 2009), then you aren't required to file. However, even if you're not required to file, you should file if income tax was withheld from your paychecks in order to receive a refund of that tax. You also should file if you're eligible for certain tax credits such as earned income.
If you're 17 years old and earned 1500 income and you're claimed on your parents' return do you need to fill out a tax return?
No. For 2008 as a single dependent under 65 you only would be required to file if your earned income was over $5,450. For 2009 you only would be required to file if your income was over $5,700. Although you're not required to file, you should file anyway if any income tax was withheld from your earnings in order to receive a refund of that withholding.

If this 1252 is all of your gross worldwide income for the tax year 2009 when you complete your income tax return correctly you will not have any federal income tax liability. You may qualify for a small refund if the 1252 is earned income funds that you worked for.

What should a 17yr old claim on his W-4 for his first job?
Probably single and -0- to be sure that enough income tax is withheld from his gross pay which will mean a smaller paycheck each pay period but if the 17 year old should end up with a income tax liability when the income tax return is completed correctly the 17 year old may not owe any income tax money to the IRS and could possibly receive a refund of some of the amount that was withheld.
