Hello, here's a question for all you tax experts out there.

I worked last year for a little while at a small telephone answering service, but only made $90 in 2003. Do I still have to file?

If that's your only income, then you don't have to file a federal form (assuming you're from the US). There's a threshold beneath which you don't have to file. It's $7,800 for single people under 65 for 2003. It's different for older and married people, but it's at least a few thousand in all cases. There's probably a threshold for your state too, although you should check the instructions included with the forms to make sure.
