Tax Year 2016: I am a minor, do i get all of my Federal Income tax as part of my return?

 

Business & farm

It depends on how much you earned, what type of income it is, and how much you had withheld from paychecks.

As a minor, being claimed as a dependent of someone else, you will receive a Standard Deduction of $6,300 for 2016.  If the only income you had was from a regular job in which you received a W-2, any income over the $6,300 will be taxable.  If you made less than $6,300 from wages (only W-2 income) then you should get all of your federal tax withholding refunded.
