My gross income in 2007 was less than $8,750. In 2007, I sold a stock which I had held since 1998. I understand that I need to file Schedule D and 1040 because of the long term capital gain tax. However, I read in the instructions of the
1040, that I should file tax return if my gross income was $8,750. However, my gross income was less than that figure.My question is: should I file the 1040?
