My dad's rule of thumb (he's an accountant, but not a tax accountant) is that someone/anyone gave you more than $500 in one year, you MUST claim it on your taxes.

If you're not itemizing (or even if you are, depending on what), there are plenty of free tax websites. Unless you make too much to qualify for free. Then I guess you don't really care about having to pay to have your taxes done.
