What is the amount of money that you can earn before you have to file taxes?

In the United States, the income threshold for filing federal taxes varies by filing status, age, and dependency status. For the 2023 tax year, single filers under 65 must file if they earn at least $13,850. However, if your income includes self-employment earnings, you must file if you make $400 or more. Always check the IRS guidelines or consult a tax professional for specific requirements related to your situation.
