I claimed exempt from my job because I made less than $600 from it in 2016. I'm a college student and got a 1098-T. Do I need to file taxes?

Do I need to file taxes if I claimed exempt? If not, do I need to file taxes if I got a 1098-T from my school?

Whether or not you need to file a return depends on how much income you have. Please refer to the following FAQ to determine if you are required to file a tax return. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302185

If you are being claimed as a dependent on your parent's tax return, they might qualify to claim an education credit so the 1098T Form would be reported on their tax return.
