If the money you made is earned income (from working and receiving a W-2), then you are not required to file a return.  If it is unearned income (from interest, dividends, investments), then you would be required to file a return if you are also being claimed as a dependent.  

 

You may want to file a return if you had Federal or state taxes withheld.
