Yes. The IRS has income guidelines for determining whether dependents are required to file 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.

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

Can you file your taxes if you are a dependent?
In the United States, a person who earns over a certain amount has to file taxes, depending on filing status and age. Technically, anyone who can be claimed as a dependent should not have to file because the majority of their living expenses were paid by someone else. If a dependent earns more than the minimum allowable amount, they are no longer considered a dependent and must file taxes.

What is the minimum income requirement in order to file an income tax return individually and not as a dependent?
Everyone is allowed to file an individual tax return, whether they are a dependent or not. Even if you are a dependent, you are required to file your own tax return if you have sufficient income to require the filing of a tax return. There is one exception: If a child under 18 (24 if a fulltime student) has income ONLY from interest and dividends and has income under $9500 (in 2009), the parents may report the dividends and interest on Form 8814 instead of filing a return for the child if they wish. And even if you are not required to file a return, you are allowed to file a return, whether you are a dependent or not. You would want to file a return if you had tax withheld from your salary or from other payments or are eligible for a refundable tax credit. If you choose not to file, you will eventually forfeit your refund. With the one exception noted above, your parents (or whoever is claiming you as a dependent) are not allowed to claim your income or your refund on their tax return.
Will you receive money if your dependent has been claimed unjustly for the last 3 years?
You won't unless you file tax returns for the three years in question claiming the dependent. If you've already filed tax returns without claiming the dependent, you should file amended tax returns for the years in question. The deadline for filing a 2005 amended return is April 15, 2009. It is too late to amend years before 2005. Once you file your returns, the IRS will contact you for additional information. Note that if you e-file a return after someone else has claimed the same dependent, your e-file will be rejected. People erroneously assume this means that the first person to file gets the money. All it means is that the second person has to send in a paper return in order to begin the process of determining who gets the dependent.
Been told that I cannot file taxes because parents claimed me as a dependent but made over 3000 is this true?
Absolutely, positively not.Whether your parents or anyone else claims you as a dependent has absolutely no effect on your obligation or ability to file taxes. Some people mistakenly believe that if your parents claim you as a dependent, they claim your income, your withholding and your refund, too. This is absolutely not true.People who make more than a certain amount are obligated to file taxes. However, ANYONE is permitted to file taxes. If you are due a refund, you must file taxes in order to get the refund. Your parents cannot get your refund for you. Whether your parents can claim you as a dependent has absolutely nothing to do with you. You must file your own taxes for your own income and withholdings. And if you owe taxes, you are obligated to file and pay them.
If your dependents file tax returns can you still claim them?
Yes. Being claimed as a dependent doesn't prevent the dependent from filing a return. That also doesn't prevent you from still claiming them on your own return. The IRS gives guidelines for determining whether dependents are required to file tax returns. Also, even though dependents might not be required to file, they should file if tax was withheld in order to receive a refund of that tax.
