How much money do you have to make to file a 1040-EZ tax form?

Im not too sure how much i have to make, i heard it was 500 dollars from a coworker, but my mother tells me that i would have had to make 5000 dollars in order to file a form myself?

1. no
2. You only HAVE TO MAKE 51cents to file one. You are only required to file if you earned over the standard deduction plus your exemption. This year that is $8950 or for dependents $5450. $400 for self employed.
3. You will only need to file if you have federal income tax withheld shown in box 2 of your W-2, and this is all of your income for 2008. If this is true, you may file a 1040-EZ, and show that you are being claimed as a dependent by someone else. This will allow you to receive a refund of all the federal income tax you have showing in box 2, if the W-2 shows all the income you earned in 2008.

4. you can file it but are not required to. File only if you will receive a refund.
5. If you even made $1, you can file a 1040EZ form.
