Do I have to file taxes?

TaxWarren TeamPublished April 25, 2026

Quick answer

You must file if gross income exceeds the standard deduction for your filing status ($15,000 single in 2025). Even below that, file to claim withheld tax refunds, EITC, Saver's Credit, and other refundable benefits.

Filing thresholds by status: standard deduction triggers filing.
