Business & farm

In most cases, you would not need to file a tax return if your total income (not including SSI) is less than $400.

 

You would first want to analyze if it actually is a business.  If you are expecting your income to be that low, it leads to the thought that it MIGHT be a hobby (you can Google something like "IRS business vs hobby").  If it is a business, then if your business PROFIT (after expenses) is $433 (give or take $1, depending on rounding) or more, you will likely need to file a tax return to pay self employment tax. 

 

If you need to file a tax return, you'll need to also analyze if your parents are eligible to claim you as a dependent, and if they are, make sure that is mentioned on your tax return.
