The easiest way is to ask them.

NQ: Do you have a Twitter account?
MR: No.

Job done.

I don't want to ask them
Then you'll never know!
You can search their real name, which they may use:

http://twitter.com/#!/search-home
^^ That won't necessarily prove that they have a genuine Twitter account, though. As with Facebook, Twitter is riddled with fake and pseudo accounts. Most of these are set up by "friends" of the alleged account holder who are just "having a laugh", though sometimes with more malicious intent...
Yep, usual common sense online should be applied.
You might also wonder why someone would want to know this anyway! Perhaps the OP is doing a survey, or simply wants to follow the person in question. Either way, the "Do you have a Twitter account?" seems the only way...
Stalker alert!!! ;)
If it is someone famous that you want to follow on twitter then just google their name plus the word TWITTER and see what comes up
"Most of these are set up by "friends" of the alleged account holder who are just "having a laugh", though sometimes with more malicious intent... "

You're suggesting that most accounts with someones real name are actually fake accounts made up by other people. I would highly doubt that 'most' are.
