Officially: A person, other than the taxpayer or the taxpayer's spouse, for whom an exemption can be claimed. To be your dependent, a person must be your qualifying child or qualifying relative. For more information, see Exemptions for Dependents in Publication 501. And I'll try to post a link to the Publication

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.

How much do you get for each dependent on your income tax?

The correct exemption amount for each qualifying dependent on your 1040 federal income tax return is 3650 for each one. Each 3650 amount would be free of the federal income tax as the amount would reduce your adjusted gross income down to your taxable income line on your 1040 federal income tax return. You will know NOT know the correct amounts until you complete your 1040 federal income tax return correctly. your filing status, your age and how you made your gross amount of all worldwide income amount and all of your information that is required for you to enter it correctly on each line of your 1040 income tax return and this will all be a part of the necessary information that you know and will have to enter on your income tax return correctly to arrive at the correct answer of how much you might possible get back as a REFUND AMOUNT. If it is qualifying earned income and you are not a dependent on another taxpayer's income tax you return. IF you meet the qualifications for the earned income tax credit and the making work pay tax credit for the tax year 2009 you WILL NOT KNOW the amounts until you have completed your 1040 federal income tax return correctly.

Yes as long as you and your child meet all of the rules for you to be able to claim your child as a qualified child dependent on your 1040 income tax return. You child will file the child's own 1040 income tax return and will have to make sure and check the box that says they can be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayers income tax return and the child will get the 3650 exemption on the child's own income tax return. The number of exemptions will be -0- zero WHEN the 1040 income tax return is completely correctly.
