Best Answer

The requirement to file an income tax return is not determined by whether you owe taxes or not. For example, if you have net self-employment income of more than $400, you must file. If you are subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), you must file. You may want to file -- because you will get a refund of withheld taxes, or are eligible for the earned income credit or other refundable tax credits, or could get a stimulus payment, or to get Social Security credits.
