Not necessarily Doc.

For 2002, you had to file a tax return if you made at least the amount stated for the following filing statuses:

Single (including divorced and legally separated) under 65 =$7,700 65 or over =$8,850

Head of household under 65 =$9,900 65 or older =$11,050

Married, with a child, living apart from your spouse during the last 6 months of 2002 Head of household under 65 =$9,900 65 or older =$11,050

Married, joint return under 65 (both spouses) =$13,850 65 or older (one spouse) =$14,750 65 or older (both spouses) =$15,650

Married, separate return any age =$3,000

Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child, under 65 =$10,850 65 or older =$11,750

Another point to consider is that taxes other than income taxes tend to be regressive. The lower your income, the higher the percentage that goes to sales and property taxes.
