You'll get back the $13.75 that was withheld. Also, you qualify for some Earned Income Credit. Without having the tables in front of me, I can't tell you exactly how much. Is your daughter a student? If so, you can still claim her if she lived in your household. You can also claim your son, of course. Guessing, the EIC for that amount of wages and two children would be somewhere between $400-$800. If you want to check out the EIC tables go to www.irs.gov. Also, do you or have you had a telephone anytime from 2003-2006? It can be either a landline phone or a cell phone. You'll receive a $60 credit for that if so. So, you get $74 + EIC back for this year.

You don't get a child tax credit for your daughter if that's what you mean for getting credit for her - she's too old. You can probably still claim her as a dependent though, as long as she lived with you for over half the year, and didn't provide over half of her own support. If she's your dependent, and she probably is, she'd be eligible to be claimed toward the earned income credit also.
All that said, if your total earnings were $1597, then your taxable income would be zero, you'd get back the $14 that was withheld. On a joint return, you'd probably also be eligible for EIC of $536 if your daughter is not your dependent, $630 if she is.
Good luck - sounds like times are pretty tough for you.
One more thing - look for a VITA or TCE site near you - don't pay someone to do your taxes, you'll end up spending part of your refund. For more info on these programs, see irs.gov and type VITA in the search box.
And another thing - fight_the_powers gives a good reminder of the telephone tax refund that you can get this year if you had long-distance service sometime between March 2003 and June 2006. For a four-person household, it's $60.

First of all what country do you live in?
And for your daughter you could probably claim partially.
It sound like you worked about 2 % of the time.
Also I would not give personal financial info out for the whole world to see, consult a tax filing agent or accountant and they will be able to tell you exactly what your return may be.

Your son's SSI has nothing to do with your taxes, I beleive that
Richmanpoorman gave you a good estimate of what your refund would be on your previous question

It is hard to help you without getting the full picture. Do you have investments, earn interest, property taxes, pay interest on a mortgage or give to charity. I sort of need to know your adjusted income to help you.
