<p>Also, if you have access to the internet, The IRS has a freefile section where you select a software company and if you can file for free and the program takes care of the calculations for you. We used the turbotax one. The IRS freefile link is here</p>
<p>[Free</a> File Home - Your Link to Free Federal Online Filing](<a href=“http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html]Free”>http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html)</p>
<p>If you had earned income only you need to file if you had earned income (from a job with W2s or from taxable scholarships/grants) of over $5350.</p>
<p>If you have unearned income you have to file if it is over $850</p>
<p>If you have a combination of earned/unearned the amounts are different to the above but i am not sure what.</p>
<p>If you are unsure if you need to file go ahead and enter the info on one of the freefile sites. It will tell you if you need to file.</p>
<p>If you have worked and had any taxes deducted file even if not required in order to get your taxes refunded.</p>
<p>Deadline is April 15th so get on it quick. And don’t forget State taxes (which I think you can do from the same site but I’m not sure as we did it direct on our State’s web site).</p>
