This is Steph responding to the replys to my tax question, I did have the with holdings taken out and if i had

the extra time on my hands to file, then normally i would. Only this time, I was out of the country when it came time to file, and it would have been like a yo-yo effect with the mailing system. That was what made me question if I needed to actually file or save myself the headache that it was creating.

I chose to just let it go, to not hassel with it, and take care of other things. My dad brought up the question a few days ago, and I could not explain where i thought i found the information regarding the deduction amount or about not having to file the taxes.

I have been worried ever since over this, so I seeked an answer from here, hoping that someone would know how to answer the question.

The amount of money was just under $1,000 and it was working some part time hours for McDonalds inside of a Wal-Mart. Not much of anything, just killing 2 months till I was to travel out of the country on a visit.

Thanks for all the help you all are giving me, I am very appreciative.

Steph
