Ones age does not determine if a person files taxes or not, what it matters is how much money the person made that year. What was the income of the person that year, is what determines the income tax filling status.

Does a 14 year old sales associate at a chain department store who earns 1000 dollars per year need to file a Federal Income Tax Return?

For 2004, a 14-year-old would not need to file a federal tax return if he/she had only $1000 in earned (from a job, for example) income. If there is any bank interest or investment income, the answer becomes more complicated. He/she may want to file a federal tax return (1040EZ) to receive a refund of any federal tax withholding from the earnings.

Must an 88 year old file taxes?

If you are unmarried and at least 65 years of age, then you must file an income tax return if your gross income is $11,500 or more. However, if you live on Social Security benefits, you don't include this in gross income. If this is the only income you receive, then your gross income equals zero, and you don't have to file a federal income tax return. But if you do earn other income that is not tax-exempt, then each year you must determine whether the total exceeds $11,500. If you are married and file a joint return with a spouse who is also 65 or older, you must file a return if your combined gross income is $22,400 or more. If your spouse is under 65 years old, then the threshold amount decreases to $21,200. Keep in mind that these income thresholds only apply to the 2013 tax year, and generally increase slightly each year.
