I'm 22, not in school, and have never served in the military. Do I qualify for anything special on my taxes?
I'm about to file my taxes. Like the question said, I'm a white 22 year old male. I'm not in college, I'm single, have no children, do not live with my parents, am not in school, have no debt, and have not served in any branch of the military, don't own a car or a house or a business or anything like that. Essentially what I'm saying is, there's no special circumstances that would really affect my income taxes. And I make less than $15,000 a year.
I know the answer is probably 'No', but I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of any special programs or tax breaks or anything to squeeze a few extra bucks out of my tax return...beyond just punching in what's on my W-2 and pressing 'Send'.

Depends. The income limit for EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) for a single person with no kids is $13,460.00.

No.
If you made just under $15k, your tax due is about $800. You will get back whatever was withheld above that.
Plus, you should get $400 credit for making work pay (schedule M). It's refundable, so if you are owed a refund, they will add $400.
With such a low income, you qualify for Free Tax e-file with most providers. You won't have to pay to file your federal return. You may be eligible to file your state return (if you have to file on) for free also.

You answered your own question. Nope, but since you only made 15k you'll probably get more back than you think. Just because its not that much above poverty. Oh wait you could deduct if you made ANY type of donations. Salvation Army, United Way ect. Up to I believe $250 each with no receipt necessary. ;-) If you use turbotax (which you dont pay until you actually send it) it will tell you the rules as you go and what deductions you can qualify for.
