Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The "full-time student" question is in regard to being a college student.   Since you are 15, it is assumed that you are a student---you do not need to worry about that.   A yes to that question will just start trying to navigate you to questions about education credits for college, etc.   At 15, you are a dependent of your parents---make sure you answer YES when it asks in MY INFO if you can be claimed as someone else's dependent.

 

And...your return will have to be filed by mail.   You cannot e-file if you are under the age of 16.

 

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

 

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
