No. For 2008 as a single dependent under 65 you only would be required to file if your earned income was over $5,450. For 2009 you only would be required to file if your income was over $5,700. Although you're not required to file, you should file anyway if any income tax was withheld from your earnings in order to receive a refund of that withholding.
