Q: OK so from 06-07 i was a full time student and i worked about 8 months before i got out. i was still dependent on my parents and i dont know if to do my income tax (which i didnt). I want to apply to a job at the IRS and im scared they are going to deny me or find out i didnt do my income tax last year.
A: You may not even have a filing requirement those years - most students working part time jobs don't. Most students with small incomes WANT to file their taxes to get most or all of the tax withholdings back, but most don't NEED to if they don't want to. But if you want to work for the IRS, why not file them anyway. There is no penalties for filing late if you are due a refund and you have three years to do it. Then when they audit you they will see a good tax payer out there who files his taxes every year. Plus you get those refunds - plus interest! Nothing but pluses. Good luck at the IRS. I hope you are better and brighter than most of them that I have worked with!! ;-)
