Yes. Still file a tax return so that you can get any refund that you are entitled to. Make sure to mark on the return that you can be claimed as a dependant so that it is not rejected by the IRS.

Should you file a US tax return if you are still claimed as a dependent on your parent's US tax return?

Yes, you must file a tax return, even if someone else claims you as a dependent, if you had earned income or interest. Most taxpayers who are claimed as dependents on someone else's return use form 1040EZ, especially if they claim the standard deduction and do not need to itemize deductions.


Does a single student earning 3132.25 in 2007 need to file a federal tax return and will any taxes be owed?

If you're a single student claimed as a dependent on your parents' (or someone else's) return, you weren't required to file in 2007 if your income was under $5,350. If you weren't being claimed as a dependent by anyone else, you weren't required to file if your income was under $8,750. But if income tax were withheld from your earnings during the year, you should file a return in order to get a refund of that tax. If you didn't file a return in 2008 for a refund of your 2007 tax withheld, you still can file for that year.

You claimed zero but still owe taxes?

You mean you claimed 0 on your W-4 and/ or your return? The W-4 is the one that determines withholding. If you claimed say 3 on it and 0 on the return, then that is bound to happen. If you claimed 0 on both, and presuming you have no other income (which could cause additional payment in any case)...then recalc your return, something isn't right.

Does a teenager have to file tax returns?

Being a teenager does not exempt anyone from filing tax returns. According to IRS Publication 17, page 4, if a teenager is NOT claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, then they must file a return if: · Your filing status is single and your gross income is at least $9,500 · Your filing status is married, filing jointly and your gross income is at least $19,000 · Your filing status is married filing separately and your gross income is at least $3,700 · Your filing status is "head of household" and your gross income is at least $12,200 · Your filing status is "qualifying widow(er) with dependent child" and your gross income is at least $15,300 According IRS Publication 17, page 6, unmarried teenagers who are dependents (for example - their parents claim them as dependents on their own tax return) must file a tax return if any of the following apply: · Your unearned income was more than $950. · Your earned income was more than $5,800. · Your gross income was more than the larger of: · $950, or · Your earned income (up to $5,500) plus $300. It's slightly more complicated if you are a married teenager but still claimed as a dependent. In that case, a teenager must file a tax return if any of the following apply: · Your unearned income was more than $2,100 · Your earned income was more than $6,950 · Your gross income was at least $5 and your spouse files a separate return and itemizes deductions. · Your gross income was more than the larger of: · $2,100 · Your earned income (up to $5,500) plus $1,450


If I am dependent of my husband and he passed away last month do I get a child's portion because I was his dependent?

A spouse is never a "dependent" on a US income tax return. You likely mean that you filed a joint tax return with your husband. You still file a joint return for the year of his passing. In subsequent years, you file as single unless you have dependents that qualify you for an alternative filing status.
