<p>I am very clueless. I started working end of November, and I don’t know what to do. In the fafsa, I said I will file a tax return, so I need to do it. Until what date is the cutoff? If for example, I got paid 2 weeks before January, then first week of january, do I only include december paycheck? I am sorry for being naive, please bear with me. Thanks!</p>
<p>my father said he is going to do it for me,
I realize maybe my question is ridiculous!</p>
<p>You will be sent a W-2 before the end of January telling you exactly how much you earned in 2008 and how much was withheld. If you go to the irs website ([Internal</a> Revenue Service](<a href=“http://www.irs.gov%5DInternal”>http://www.irs.gov)) they will have a link to sites where you can file your return for free. It will tell you exactly what you need to do.</p>
<p>Thanks 3bm103! I did not know I can file for free online. This will really help me.</p>
