If his gross income is more than $8,450.00, then he needs to file a tax return. Of course if he is self-employed and his earnings are at least $400, then he needs to file as well.
EDIT to answer Tony's question below:
Tony, if you have several different part time jobs and you have received W2's from them, then no that is not self-employment income. If you add up all your wages from Box 1 on your combined W2's and it is less than $8,450 (and you are claiming yourself and you are not a dependent) then you are not required to file a return. But, you would probably get a refund if you did so it is worth it just for that!

If you are not a dependent, and your income doesn't include any self-employment, you can make $8450 before you have to file. If you have self-employment income, $400. If you're a dependent but don't have self-employment income, $5150. If you got a 1099 with anything in the non-employee compensation box, that would count as self-employment income.

She said, 8,000 and something and then 400. for self employed does that mean someone working their way through school and has this job and that job. Sometimes for a construction company just different stuff. But it is under 8000. But is that self employed?

Please remember the amounts you are being given is for the 2006 tax year only these amounts tend to change yearly. Please go to a tax pro ask all the questions you need to feel comfortable about your taxes. You are paying for a service so be polite and insist it be the best available if not go elsewhere.
