I am a single, 19 year old who currently attends college. I lived on campus for 9 out of the 12 months from January 2017 to December 2017. My parents pay for more than half of my living expenses, and I only lived with them for about 3 months out of the year. During 2017, I will make less than $4,000. I have never filed a tax return before, and taxes are taken out of my paycheck before I receive them.
I am confused because I am not sure if the tax season goes from January 2017 to January 2018 or from April 2017 - April 2018. From April 2017 to April 2018, I will make more than $7,000 and will definitely have to file. However, from January 2018 - April 2018, I will not be attending college and will live on my own and work full time.
