Do I have to File Taxes This Year?


The amount of income you can receive before having to file your taxes has increased for the 2010 tax year.  See the table below.

Filing Status
End of 2010 were
Then File a Return if your Gross income was at least…
Single
Under 65
$9,350
65 or Older
$10,750
Married Filing Jointly
Under 65 (both spouses)
$18,700
65 or Older (one spouse)
$19,800
65 or Older (both spouses0
$20,900
Married Filing Separately
Any Age

65 or Older
$13,450
Qualifying Widow(er) with Dependent Child
Under 65
$15,050

Just because you fall within these guidelines does not mean you should not file your taxes.  Talk with your tax preparer because chances are… if you don’t file your return you will be missing out on your refund…. and the IRS will not be calling you if they owe you money… they will just keep it.
