do i need to file?

hello,

 

i am wondering if i even need to file.  i had filed for an extension at the beginning of the year because it was too convoluted for me to figure out myself.

technically, i did not make enough for the year to be required to file. per the IRS website, i saw that you dont need to file if you only earned under $12,950 gross for the year. i was well below that. 

however, my mother is under the impression that since i took an early portion of my retiremennt fund, 403B. that it may require to me still file regardless.

 

so that is where i am tripped up.  

 

let me know!
