Even if you did not earn more than the filing requirement amount, if you have a W-2 (s) with tax withheld in boxes 2 or 17, you could file to seek a refund of federal and/or state tax that was withheld from your paychecks.
And..if you have even $400 of income from self-employment, you are required to file a tax return. (there are many kinds of self-employment including rideshare driving, DoorDash or Instacart etc delivery, babysitting, housecleaning, etc etc etc.)
