If you earned any income at all from a job (not just like babysitting but something you filled out a W-9 form for) then you have to file. You could make as little as $500 all year long, but as long as you worked and paid taxes, you have to file.

From self employment, if you make $400 or more you are required to file.
If you work as an employee (with social security and medicare deducted from your paycheck) there are various bottom limits for being required to file, depending on your personal status. If you are single and a dependent, it's $5350; single and not a dependent, $8750.
If you don't have to file, but had tax withheld, you can file to get back what was withheld.

If you have earned any money from an employer that has issued you a pay roll check then you, by law, should file your taxes, but if your job is considered "under the table" (like baby setting or cleaning houses for friends ext.) then you don't have to file.

if you work and you get a W4 or make any kind of cash money ,or have a job you will need to file your taxes!
The tax person can and will tell you what you need and if you need to file or not.

You must file taxes if:
Your unearned income is over $850 (this is like stock profits, residuals and the like)
Your earned income is over $5,350 if you are a dependent (income from working); around $8,000 if you are single and no one is claiming you
Here is the link to the IRS website, please click the link that says "1040EZ Instructions". It will take you to a .pdf document and page 7 has the filing requirements.
