My 17yo high school niece received a W-2 for $1620 (taxes,SSI,medicare withheld) for summer work and a 1099-NEC for $1962 (no withholding) for sporadic work at a local theatre.
1. Does she have to file at all? ( she filed last year but only received a W-2, and a refund)
2. If she must file it seems the 1099NEC is treating her as self employed and TTax says she owes the Federal $230 or $113.
Help please as to how to advise her
