There isn't a special filing status for students.
However, there are some special things that can apply the first year after graduation from university or high school.
If you graduated from undergraduate college studies or high school, you are under age 24, and you were in school for at least five months of the year in 2023, you may still be a dependent of your parents and they may still be claiming education-related credits that require you to be their tax dependent. This is even if you have a nice, well-paying job.
If this is the case, you want to be certain that you indicate that you may be claimed as a dependent when you prepare your return.
Thank you so much for your help!! I am 28 years old and completely independent. I am a foreigner tho, (Employment Authorization status). So I guess I can just fill it out regularly? Only updating my information like moving, new job etc? Do I still claim "Still work at (My university)"?
You do not need to indicate that you still work at your university unless you had income from the institution in 2023 such as teaching assistant income, fellowships, etc.
You'll just file a "regular" tax return - and you can return to this forum at any time with additional questions.
