Question

i live in the united states please let me know.i made 700 hundred a month for two months from unemployment that was my only income for 2006.and iam also married my wife did not work.

Answer 1

It's not how much you made per month, but what you made for the whole year. If your total income between you and your wife was $1400 for the year, then no, you don't have to file a federal return, and probably not state either, but the state return could depend on where you live.

Answer 2

Judy is correct. If you only had $1400 income for the whole year, what did you live on? That wouldn't buy me food for a year and I'm single.
