Probably. Most people do.

What you work as, or if you even work at all, is irrelevant. It filing requirement depends on income....and many stay at home moms have a fair amouunt from investments, interest, assorted business, etc.

If you have a husband, and especially if you don't have much income, filing a "joint return" is probably advantageous for you, and then each of you don't have to file separate returns.

No matter what you should file. Most people who don't have an obligation to file actually receive benefits back by doing so...things called earned income credits, and remember the incentive checks in 2008? Only for those who filed!

In common sense terms: If the IRS says it's OK you don't file....who do you think that's actually good for? You or them?
