STUDENTS PAY TAXES TOO
Being a student has nothing to do with it. Students are not exempt from paying tax. If you are being claimed as someone else's dependent (parents?) then any money you have in Box 1 of your W-2 that is over $6350 is taxable income. So you do not necessarily get back all of what you see in Box 2. The government gets to keep some of it.
