See the Tables 1, 2, and 3 on pages 2, 3, 4 of Publication 501 to see if you are required to file a federal tax return:

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf

See the instructions that come with your state tax forms or the web site of your state tax department to determine if you are required to file a state tax return.

If you are NOT required to file, but you had income tax withheld from your wages or other payments, you should file anyway in order to get a refund.
