You're not required to file a return for your Single filing status if your 2008 income is less than $8,950 (or less than $9,350 for 2009). Even though you're not required to file, you should file if income tax was withheld from your earnings in order to receive a refund of that tax. Also, if you're eligible for certain credits (such as earned income), you should file even when not required

Yes you can file a federal income tax return and if you had a employer and you were an employee if any federal income tax was withheld from your gross earnings wages it is possible that you could get a refund of some or all of the FIT that was withheld.

What is net income tax liability?

what is net income tax liability? Adjusted net income is the excess of gross income for the tax year (including gross income from any unrelated trade or business) deter­mined with certain modifications over the total deductions (including deduc­tions directly connected with carrying on any unrelated trade or business) that would be al­lowed a taxable corporation determined with certain deduction modifications. Gross income does not include gifts, grants, or contributions received by the private operat­ing foundation but does include income from a functionally-related business. Gross income and the total deductions allowable from that income will be figured as they are normally figured for income tax purposes except as otherwise pro­vided. For figuring adjusted net income, there will be no exclusions, deductions, or credits un­less provided under Income modifications and Deduction modifications. Amounts received by the foundation in tax years beginning after 1969 representing repay­ment of principal on loans made in tax years before 1970 are not includible in gross income. However, payments of interest on those loans are includible in gross income.


How far back can the IRS audit a business?

Generally, the statute of limitations on assessment of a tax deficiency is three years from the date a tax return was due UNLESS the deficiency was substantial, meaning a return failed to include 25% or more of the gross income it should have, in which case the statute of limitations extends to six years. And there's no statute of limitations on a taxpayer who was required to file a return and failed to do so.

Your parents are 84 years old on Social Security both take IRA of 2000.00 a year for a total of 19400.00 per year do they need to file income tax return?

If they cannot be claimed as dependents and the amount they took out of their IRA was greater than or equal to their Required Minimum Distribution amount, then they do not have to file a federal return if their gross income was under $20,000. But they had no other income? No pension? No interest on bank accounts? State requirements vary by state. They may or may not have to file a state return.
