if you are under 24 and a full time student in 2024, and didn't provide more than half of your own support in 2024, then your parents still claim you as a dependent. Your parents will then claim your education credits if any. They will file your form 1098-T.
If you have income, you must file your own tax return if you had any of the following:
- Total income (wages, salaries, taxable scholarship etc.) of more than $14,600 in 2024.
- Unearned income (interest, dividends, capital gains) of more than $1,300.
- Gross income (earned plus unearned) exceeding the larger of $1,300 or his earned income (up to $14,600) plus $400.
- Other self-employment income over $400, including box 1 of a 1099-NEC.
You have to indicate in the My Info section of TurboTax that you can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.
Even if you earn less, you can file if you need to get back income tax withholding. You can't get back Social Security or Medicare tax withholding.
