Do I need to file for State Tax return?
Hi,
I am a student on an F-1 visa from india. I earned around $3000 in the 2004 calendar year. I will file for my Federal Tax returns, but do I need to file for my State tax too?
I live in New York City, but my income was under the $7500 quota for a single individual.
It is my understanding that I don't need to file for state tax as my state (and federal) income was less than $7500. Am I right?
Thanks a million,
anuj_tm

Due to your low income, you are not required to file a NY state income tax return.
However, if your employer withheld money from your check (as reflected on the bottom of your W-2), you will want to file a NY state income tax return to get that tax withholding back. Do not bother if the money withheld is less than $1.00.
The NY City tax return is embedded in the NY state income tax return.

Thanks for getting back to me,
On section 14 of my W-2, there's an entry "NY-SD 4.15"... I don't want to file for that return if don't have to.
So do have to file for a state tax return?
Thanks

The box 14 entry is for disability payments. Ignore it.
Are there any entries in boxes 15, 16 and 17?

My teenager made way over the personal deduction amount and will have to file federal taxes. I understand how to do those. My question is how do I find out if she has to file Kansas state taxes.

If she has to do the federal return, she will have to do the Kansas return.
