It doesn't matter how old you are, it depends on how much you make.

If you are a dependent of your parents or of anyone else, if you made over $5150 from a job in 2006, you have to file. If you made less than that but had any federal income taxes deducted, then you should file to get it refunded to you. If you made less than that but some of it was "unearned", or not from a job, you might be required to file.

As soon as you have taxable income, you file. It has nothing to do with how old you are.
