While the minimum income - however earned - is $600, you don't actually owe any tax until a much, much higher amount. However, you should always file your return, even (or especially) if you have no tax payment obligation or even requirement to file. Simply, many benefits one receives, Earned income Credit, the recent Tax Stimulus Payment to name a few, require a return to have been filed. Do it. Additionally, most tax return preparers have hundreds of stories of people not filing and actually having substantial refunds coming...some of which were lost because the return needed to claim them was filed too late! Appealing to your common sense: Especially if you owed them no $ and even more true if they actually owe you -- do you think the IRS would allow you to NOT file a return if it wasn't actually good for them!

What is the minimum income requirement in order to file an income tax return individually and not as a dependent?
Everyone is allowed to file an individual tax return, whether they are a dependent or not. Even if you are a dependent, you are required to file your own tax return if you have sufficient income to require the filing of a tax return. There is one exception: If a child under 18 (24 if a fulltime student) has income ONLY from interest and dividends and has income under $9500 (in 2009), the parents may report the dividends and interest on Form 8814 instead of filing a return for the child if they wish. And even if you are not required to file a return, you are allowed to file a return, whether you are a dependent or not. You would want to file a return if you had tax withheld from your salary or from other payments or are eligible for a refundable tax credit. If you choose not to file, you will eventually forfeit your refund. With the one exception noted above, your parents (or whoever is claiming you as a dependent) are not allowed to claim your income or your refund on their tax return.
What is the minimum wage earnings to file an income tax?
As I, a non-professional understand it: $3,300 is the minimum to have to file if you work for an employer and get a W2. $400 is the minimum if you're self employed. Also, if you're getting a tax refund, you MUST file. Most people advise filing taxes every year, even if you income is super-low, so that the IRS never has any extra reason to audit you.

Does a single student earning 3132.25 in 2007 need to file a federal tax return and will any taxes be owed?
If you're a single student claimed as a dependent on your parents' (or someone else's) return, you weren't required to file in 2007 if your income was under $5,350. If you weren't being claimed as a dependent by anyone else, you weren't required to file if your income was under $8,750. But if income tax were withheld from your earnings during the year, you should file a return in order to get a refund of that tax. If you didn't file a return in 2008 for a refund of your 2007 tax withheld, you still can file for that year.
