The amount of money that you have to make [i.e., income requirement] that requires filing a federal tax return is determined by your age and filing status. For 2009 income, generally if you're single and under 65, you must file if your total income is $9,350 and over. If you're 65 or older, then you must file if your total income is $10,750 and over.

If you're married filing jointly and both are under 65, then you must file if your income is $18,700 and over. If only one spouse is 65 or older, then you must file if your income is $19,800 and over. If both spouses are 65 or older, your income must be $20,900 or over.

Married filing separately is required to file if their total income is at least $3,650.

Head of household under 65 must file if their income is at least $12,000. At 65 or older, they must file if their income is at least $13,400.
