Absolutely. All taxable income must be reported on your tax return. You also should be very careful as second jobs never tax out enough taxes and you can easily end up owing taxes at the end of the year.

File taxes if no income withheld and have dependents?

Everyone is allowed to file tax. Whether you are required to file tax depends on the source and amount of your total income (not just earnings from your job) and your filing status. The fact that you had no income tax withheld does not necessarily mean you do not have to file tax.

How much money can you earn from second job before you have to file taxes?

Can you file even if you had no earned income?

Yes. You have to pay taxes on both earned and unearned income. In tax language "earned income" means income from a job or self-employment. "Unearned income" is other income such as interest on your bank accounts or profits from investments. A sufficient amount of earned or unearned income requires you to file. Even if you do not have enough income to be required to file, you can still file. If you really want, you can even file if you have no income of any kind.


If you had no income do you still file?

There may be a few situations where you must file. For example, if you didn't take the required minimum distribution on an IRA or 401k, or you owe an overcontribution penalty for your IRA. But usually if you really have no income, you don't have to file. But you would be surprised how many people don't know that you can have taxable income from sources other than a job.

If you are on disability do you need to file income tax?

It depends on certain conditions. If you have a job, or if you have another earner in the family. Up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed. If, however, SSDI is your only income, then you don't have to file. Optionally, you send in a 1040EZ. On line 1 write $0 for wages, salaries, and tips. Add $0 on all lines to claim moneys. After the second year, the IRS normally sends a letter to the effect that you don't have to file until your income changes.
