This depends on your filing status and dependents. It also changes each year as the standard deduction and exemption allowance is adjusted up a little every year. A single person under 65 would get the standard deduction of $6,300 plus $4000 exemption for 2015 tax year. This results in $10,300 for 2015 before you would pay a nickel of income taxes.

Sure. The fact that you were incarcerated does not exempt you from filing income taxes and paying tax on your income.
