Unlikely unless you are married and your spouse is filing a separate return (rather than a joint return). You might also have to file taxes if you receive a large lump sum for benefits from a previous year or years.

But are you sure you have no other income? No interest from the bank? No pension? No IRA? No 401k? No investments?

What does oao mean when it appears after your name on a social security check?

The US gov will try and beat you out of your parents social security check so do not allow them the upper hand. It is their nature to hold us down unless were rich as hell. So force them to give it up to you because it is entitled. You are the OAO... whatever the hell that is. Either way the check is made out to you so cash it and then pay cash for your loved ones marker and stick it to the man by not paying taxes. Also ask for a lower rate paying cash so they dont have to claim it on their income taxes. If the tables were turned what would the Gov. do to you? One who has it figured out.

my name is charles e jones and i am trying to figure out why my tax is taken every year with no explanation.this year it was offset and what im being told dont add up.i work to hard this has made three years they have took my money.?

Income tax is one of types of taxes that individuals pay each year. Majority of the people who earn an income, pay income tax. Those who are excluded from paying may have a type of disability or may be paid under a certain income amount. However, on your paycheck stub, there should be a section for taxes and deductions. This section should provide you with the type of tax that was taken out and the amount. For example, you should/could see social security tax, Medicare tax, federal income tax and state tax, along with the money amount deducted.
