What was the minimum amount that you can earn in 2017 and still have to file taxes?

[HelenaC · Accepted solution]

It depends whether it's from a job (W-2 income), self-employment or investments and whether you are a dependent or not. 

See IRS Publication 17, chapter 1, page 5, Table 1-1 and chapter 1, page 7, Table 1-2, for your tax particular situation.
