During 2007, I worked from Jan to the end of May. I only made $6.50/hr so I didn't even make that much, because I was part time. Isn't it like if you didn't make a considerable amount of money, you don't have to file taxes? I live in PA by the way. I know that's how it was for 2006, but I filed to get money back since I was under 18 at the time. I just want to know, because I know for FAFSA I would have to fill out a tax part for myself... but if I don't have to file, I won't bother with. Any help, thanks.

Assuming you're single, if you made less than $8750 you don't need to file.

However it never hurts to file a return regardless, up to you.

If you filled out a W-4 when you started working, you're employer should provide you with a W-2. It should be mailed no later than the end of January, so you should receive it sometime early February. If you didn't file a W-4, you may or may not get a 1099, it'll be up to you to make sure your income was below the threshhold - hold on to your pay stubs forever (in this case, I'd recommend you file a return in order to run the statute of limitations).

i will definately be filing once my w-2 comes.
