What are the income tax requirements for 22 year olds?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

Does anyone know the individual income tax requirements for 22 year olds?.

Income taxes are calculated based upon the amount of income earned. Your age, once past 18, has little to do with it.

Now, if you are still a student, there may also be an exception there...

Thanks for the reply. I understand age isn't a major factor but I was under the impression that the actual figure requirement of the income you earn varied with separate age groups, i.e. over or under 64, or whatever the number is. I thought 22 might be part of a separate group. Unfortunately I don't qualify as a full time student.

Over 65 does have it's own tax law for certain things (like being able to take money out of a retirement account without penalty), but any money earned still gets taxed.

The amount you pay is calculated solely on your income... your age has nothing to do with it.

Darn, guess I better get back in school to reap the benefits.
