If you're being claimed as someone else's dependent, you're required to file if you're married under 65 with earned income over $5,700 or if you're married over 65 with over $6,800 earned income.If you're not being claimed as someone else's dependent you aren't required to file with less than $8,000 earned income UNLESS you're Married Filing Separately with income of at least $3,650.Even though you may not be required to file, you should file to get a refund if any federal tax has been withheld from your pay during the year. You also should file if you're eligible for certain credits, such as earned income, additional child tax credit, making work pay, government retiree, etc.

Your tax return for 2008 is incorrect your accountant did not enter wages earned are they responsible for the amount owed?

You were responsible for making sure that all of your gross worldwide income was reported on the 1040 tax form before you signed it saying that it was correct. If you gave the accountant the information about the earned wages and they were not reported on your income tax return you should have caught the error before you signed the tax return saying that it was correct. Did your accountant also sign your income tax return saying that it was correct.
