My wife made less than 1,000 dollars last year, do I have to fill out her information on our taxes?

Yes, you must include any income, as long as it is not under the table :P

yes, if you file jointly all REPORTED income must be filed by both parties. Besides, they did take some taxes off her money didn't they? If you notice, I said reported which means if they took SSN or taxes off, she has to report this with yours too.
Now, if you were fining separately she would not have to file. And then she would not have to file as apparently she made less then $8,000 or something like this for a single person. But if they took taxes out and she does not file then she will not get the income tax back that they took out of the $1000..

Yes. The tax law requires all income over $500 be reported.

If you file jointly, absolutely yes you need to include it on your taxes. If you file separate - then no she doesn't have to file... but thats below the standard deduction, so if you do file you'll get all that you paid back.

This is the Individual Tax Help Line: 1.800.829.1040. If you give them a call, they can help you or point you to an 800 number in their system that can.

Yes, if your combined income was enough to require you to file. By filing MFJ, you have the highest standard deduction.
good luck & blessing

Yes but her income should not make that much of difference to the end result.

DEPENDS...IF SHE'S SELF EMPLOYED, MOST ALL OF HER WRITE OFFS WILL COVER THE INCOME. KEEP RECEIPTS FOR THE CLAIMS THOU. IF SHE WORKED FOR SOMEONE ELSE AND RECEIVES A W-2, SHE SHOULD CLAIM IT. AND ALSO DOUBLE CHECK THE EXEMPTS, YOU CAN CLAIM MORE EXEMPTS FOR CHILDREN, SPOUSE INCOME, ETC...BE CAREFUL THOU. IF YOU CLAIM TO MANY EXEMPTS DURING THE YEAR, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PAY TAXES. RE-READ ALL .
