Best Answer

If the welfare recipient has income that exceeds the mandatory filing threshold, has had taxes withheld from salary or other payments, or qualifies for a refundable credit such as EIC, then yes.

A recipient who worked part of the year and then received benefits for the other part of the year or who earned a little bit but not enough to totally disqualify themselves from welfare may need to file. A recipient who is hiding income from the welfare department nonetheless is required to file and pay taxes on the income if it exceeds the mandatory filing threshold.

You will file a federal tax return just like you do normally. As far as your state return, you will be considered a non-resident worker. Your tax preparer should have no trouble assisting you in filing this type of return. You will have a regular return for Pennsylvania but should be able to get a credit for the tax paid to California. On the State return for California you should file a non-resident return.
