what can i do if i didn't do my taxes, and i omly worked like 3 months before 2005 ends?

Answer 1

If you made more than $8200 during the year you MUST file! That is if you are single and under 65. If your marital status or age is different, write back so I can tell you. Whether or not you owe money depends on how much Federal Income Tax was withheld during the year. If you made LESS than $8200, you can still file if you want to get your FICA back. Since you are late filing the IRS can charge you a penalty, but I'm not sure how much that would be. But you should file ASAP, because I believe the penalty is based on how late you file.

Answer 2

Ami is correct that if you made less than $8200 for the year you don't have to file - unless you're claimed as a dependent by someone else, then the limit would be lower.

If you had any INCOME tax taken out, you should file anyway if your total income was low enough you didn't HAVE to file - that way you'll get it refunded to you.

You will only owe a penalty if you owe taxes. If you didn't owe anything and just file, even late, to get a refund, there's no penalty but you have to file it within 3 years after the due date or you won't get your refund.

The amount deducted for FICA is social security and medicare - you don't get that back as a refund no matter how little you make.

Answer 3

If you did not make more than 12,000 then you do not owe. I wold still file to cover your butt in the future.
