Does your income exceed your personal exeption and standard deduction combined?  Roughly 8500 for single person with no dependents.  Even if you are not required to file you may still want to file inorder to get the earned income tax credit and possibly get back any and all of your federal withholdings for the year.

If you want to know you will have to call the IRS and ask them. As of yet there is no way to e-mail or check the status of an amended return like we can do for a current year return. It can take months before they process an amended return.

The answer depends on your income, not your withholding or refund or anything else. On the first page of your tax booklet it should say something like "Who has to file?" or "Filing Requirements" If your income falls into the guidelines you have to file a return, period.  Every other consideration as to who is claiming who as a dependendant or how much you may or may not owe or whether or not you got a refund last year is secondary.  The fact that you are a student has nothing to do with anything regarding the amount of your income.

yes, and you will want to do that as soon as possible. If you are getting a refund, there will not owe any penalties or fees. The big reason why you want to file them ASAP is because the IRS already has a list of all of your income. They get a copy of your W-2s when your employer sends you a copy so they know what you made. They do not know what your deductions are though, so in about 2 to 4 years they will send you a big fat bill for what they feel that you owe them (when actually they may owe you) Also if you do not file at all the IRS may assume that you are avoiding paying taxes and will likely audit you.\ngood luck\nBLU

Income tax must be filed by Feb. 11th.  As far as why some folks can not e-file well that is a very in depth question with many answers.  From what my sister the payroll accountant tells me, if you are filing any one of the basic forms 1040, 1040ez ect. you can e-file.  However if you must file an extension or must include a lot of attachments you may be denied the e-file option

Ask your tax preparer, or if you did it yourself as an e-file, log in and check the status.

Some Dude's answer isn't true for everyone.\nWhen  you say beginning, do you mean this is your FIRST job or are you changing to a new job?\nIf this is your first job then yea, I would claim 0.\nHowever, if are older and are just changing jobs, it is more likely that you will be able to itemize your deductions, (rather than using the standard ded).\nEspecially if you own a home or have huge medical bills.\n\nAcccording to W-4 instructions, if you suspect you'll be getting too much of a refund (based on prior returns) you can claim up to 2 (one per letter) as a single person if you meet these requirements:\nA  if no one else can claim you as a dependent\nB  You are single and have only one job

You will have to wait until next year to file that income since it was recieved in 2006.  What you can do is pay estimated taxes on the amount you just recieved if you haven't already been taxed on it.

no, not usually.  you may need the hard copy of last years return.  however, if you did your return online then you should be able to access your return. then yes.\n\notherwise no.  if you do not have the hard copy of your taxes, contact the irs and let them know you need a copy.  they will mail it to you once you prove who you are.  do this asap as it usually takes 4-6 weeks to receive the information.

None.  You're you allowed to exempt up to 250k of the gain from taxes, if you're filing single or seperately.  And 500k if you're married filing jointly.

It depends on how you filed, efiled or paper trail you can goto the following site and locate your status and when mailed. FYI i have noticed that when you have it direct deposit it comes a few days before their date mailed.\nhttps://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp

You are required to file a return if you have income, whether you owe taxes or no.  The Government wants you to report income and THEY will decide if you owe taxes.  A tax return is not just a request for a "return", you report earnings on tax return and figure amount owed.  I'd plead ignorance and get in touch with IRS.at the nearest office.

You file your federal income tax returns for prior years at the same address you file your current year's return.\n\nwww.irs.gov may have the forms.
