Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The only way to know if you need to pay taxes is to fill out a tax return.  If you have federal tax withholding and don't owe any tax on your tax return then you would have to file a 1040  tax return to get s refund of the taxes withheld.  

Are you a dependent?  

You don't have to file if you only have W2 income under 12,400 but you can file to get back any withholding taken out in boxes 2 or 17.  But you don't get boxes 4 or 6 back.  If you got a 1099Misc or 1099NEC you have to file it as self employment income no matter how small the amount.
