@mitchem99 - cool down! First, the IRS doesn't pay for personal shelter or food, even if you are employed - it's just the way it is.
even if Box 5 exceeds Box 1, that doesn't necessarily mean it will cause you to pay tax. It depends on your income situation. If your total income is under $12,200 (I assume you are single and not a dependent of your parents), there is no tax in any event!
