Yes, you must file a tax return, even if someone else claims you as a dependent, if you had earned income or interest. Most taxpayers who are claimed as dependents on someone else's return use form 1040EZ, especially if they claim the standard deduction and do not need to itemize deductions.

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.
