1. which of the following people is/are legally required to file a tax return?\n a. amanda, who can be claimed as a dependent and earned $850 last year\n b. greg, who can be claimed as a dependent and earned $16,500 last year\n c. jason, who cannot be claimed as a dependent and earned $1,500 last year\n d. erin, who cannot be claimed as a dependent and earned $15,200 last year

Answer

Brief Explanations:

For dependents, if earned income is more than the standard deduction (varies by year and filing status, but generally higher than $850), they are required to file. Greg, as a dependent with $16,500 in earnings, likely exceeds the standard - deduction threshold for dependents. For non - dependents, if income exceeds a certain amount (usually lower than for dependents), they must file. Jason's income of $1,500 is likely below the threshold for non - dependents, while Erin's income of $15,200 likely exceeds it.

Answer:

B. Greg, D. Erin
