Problem $2-48($LO $2-1)($Algo$)$

Jamarcus, a full$-$time student, earned $$3,450$ this year from a summer job. He had no other income this year and will have zero federal income tax liability this year. His employer withheld $$621$ of federal income tax from his summer pay. Is Jamarcus required to file a tax return? Should Jamarcus file a tax return?

Multiple Choice $$

He is not required to file an income tax return because his gross income of $$3,450$ is well below the gross income threshold for a single taxpayer $($ $$14,600$ for $2024).$ He should still file a tax return to receive a refund of the $$621$ previously withheld.

He should compulsorily file a tax return because his gross income of $$3,450$ is well below the gross income threshold for a single taxpayer.

He is not required to file a tax return as the refund of $$621$ previously withheld will be automatically credited to his bank account.

He is required to file an income tax return regardless of income and should file a tax return.
