Quick tax question

My wife had two coaching positions in 2004 which she earned $500/season for, and one short term substitute teacher position which she earned $475 for. In these three seperate W2's (and of course in her paychecks) they took out SS and state taxes but took $0 in federal income. Why would they not take federal tax out? Is there a tax law dealing with wages under $500? She also had another short term position paying $6xx and they took federal taxes out of this one. Will these at all change how we file for our taxes?

Just trying to better understand the process. Thanks!
 
there's a stickied tax thread at the top of this forum. They will be better suited to help you out in there. Look for CPA, eaglekeeper, etc.

good luck!

edit: I'll try and help anyway. I dont' think it would change how you file, just enter in all of your W-2's and see how it all washes out.
