If Yes:
You need to file a Federal Income Tax return. Even if you do not have to file a return, you should file one to get a refund of any Federal Income Tax withheld.

If No:
Based on the information provided, you do not need to file a Federal Income Tax return for this year unless you need to receive a refund of payments already made.

If you have taxes withheld for Wage or Pension Income and have less than $300 of unearned income (e.g. interest, dividends, unemployment compensation), you can stop your withholding by filling out a new Form W-4, Withholding Certificate or a Form W-4P, Withholding Certificate for Pension or Annuity Payments. You may obtain the form you need from our Forms and Publications Page.

Give Form W-4 to your employer and mail Form W-4P to the company that sends your pension checks. To stop withholding before another year starts, you need to file the Form W-4 or W-4P by early December.

Reminders:

Form W-4 - You must file a new Form W-4 each year to continue the exemption. The exemption is valid for one year only. Each time you change employers and file a new Form W-4 make sure you claim the exemption from withholding.

Form W-4P - Form W-4P stays in effect until you file a new one or an IRS Examination results in mandatory "backup" withholding.

This information applies only to your Federal Income Tax return. State filing requirements are different. Please contact your state and/ or local tax office if you need this information.
