While earned income credit is for job holders, if you were unemployed and had taxes withheld from income such as alimony, lottery winnings, or investments, then you do have to file to get the taxes back, based on overpayment.

And filing a tax return insures that you get any other payments the government authorizes to families, as they use that as the basis for the checks. Everyone got a stimulus check a year or so ago, but those that hadn't filed taxes didn't get it.

You have to file a tax return to get any retirement withholding back, and also because the IRS requires information on non-taxable and eligible tax-exempt income. And then there are the unemployed heirs in the Rockefeller family, the ones not governing states and such.

If you claim your sixteenyear old on your taxes can she file exempt on her part time job?

There is no exemption from income taxes because of age. Being claimed as a dependent does not make your child exempt from taxes. Regardless of age or dependent status, if your child has sufficient income she must file her own tax return.To claim "exempt" on her W-4 at work, BOTH of the following statements must be true:1) She owed no taxes last year. All taxes that were withheld (if any) were refunded.2) She reasonably expects to owe no taxes this year.
