Thank you. You've been very helpful. Final question:
I am claimed as a dependent by my parents. If my net income for the year (w2 + 1099) is less than 6,350 (but greater than NY's standard deduction of 3,100), do I have the option to not file taxes at all? I was told that I am required to file simply for the fact that I received a 1099-MISC. Is this true?
