Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your income from a job and unemployment is $8k, you are not required to file a tax return. Receiving unemployment does not automatically require you to file a tax return.

 

However, if you had taxes withheld, you can file a tax return to claim a refund.

 

If you file a tax return, you have to indicate in TurboTax that you can be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
