How much do I have to make on a W2 for it to be required to file?

[lashayrobinson26]

I have a w2 with 3168.00 also one with 1140.75, am I required to file these?

[LinaJ2018]

are these the only two income you have made in 2015 ?  Also, are you filing single or married ?  Any dependents ?

[lashayrobinson26]

single no dependents

[lashayrobinson26]

I see a table that says 9500.00 but is that per w2 or is that total?

[BobB7]

Did you have any income besides the W2s?  Are you someone's dependent? How did you live on less than $5000 of income?

[lashayrobinson26]

its called minimum wage BobB7; I had a home, car, and all other expenses.. NOW DO YOU KNOW THE ANSWER? IF NOT THANK YOU BUT GOOD BYE.


TurboTaxLina: Do you know?

[lashayrobinson26]

is it PER w2? or all together added?

[LinaJ2018]

please see below.

[LinaJ2018]

It's not per w-2. It's all together.

[LinaJ2018]

For year of 2015, for single filing status, under age of 65, you are required to file a return if your gross income ( total ) is at least $10300 or $11850 for over age 65.  

https://www.irs.gov/publications/p501/ar02.html#en_US_2015_publink1000220702- review under Table 1.2015 Filing Requirements Chart for Most Taxpayers 

If somebody might claim you, you are considered as other's dependent, then review under  Table 2.2015 Filing Requirements for Dependents

No, I believe you must earn at $10,300 or more before filing if you are single

[BobB7]

Unless you are someone's dependent or had self employment income.
