Virginia State Taxes Question...?
I'm sorry for all my tax questions... I live in VA. I received a 1099-MISC form for $3300 in box 7. No taxes were withheld. I paid my federal taxes fine. The state tax is what is confusing me. The VA tax site specifies that I need to file if I am "Single, and Virginia adjusted gross income is $11,250 or more". I figure since I only made $3300 there is no way that I can get a VAGI of "$11,250 or more," which would mean I shouldn't have to file. But since I worked as an independent contractor and received a 1099-MISC form, would that mean I need to pay self-employment taxes to the state of VA? I had to pay self-employment federal taxes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

- Self-employment taxes are only on the federal return.
- Are you a youth? Did you honestly only make $3,300? Is your other income hidden in your business? If so, then you should file that tax form. If you only took away $3,300 from any work or anything over the whole of 2008, then you don't need to fill out anything. (The minimum standard deduction is like $3,930, so $3,300 is not taxable.)
