    if you earned under a certin amount in a year and they owe you not you owing them, you don’t have to file or/and you can file up to 3years at a time. check your local tax place like H&R block.

    Last I knew if you earned $600 or more you did but that may have changed. Call the IRS to find out.

    This is the IRS website designed to help you know if you need to file a return. He may well not have to, but this site should help decide if you want to.

    No, your teenager *probably* doesn’t need to file a return. However, you could go to the IRS website (see link below) and file for free through the Free File Alliance. This would *probably* allow him to get back his $9, and it’s good practice (better to start learning about taxes before he needs to, rather than waiting until it’s too late).

    Since he only made $740, he isnt required to file a return. Because it’s below his standard deduction for his filing status (filing single). He can file a 1040EZ to get the $9 back.

    I think so. Anything over 600.00 has to be reported

    I had to file a tax return when I made over $600.00 when I was 15. Far as I know it is still the same.
