As an employee, you will receive a W-2.  You are required to file  a tax return under the same rules as everybody else.

See filing requirements at https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/filing-and-paying-taxes/help/do-i-need-to-file-a-federal-return-th...

 

The one exception is that you usually do not have to pay FICA (social security and Medicare) tax.  Most likely your employer did not withhold those (boxes 4 & 6 on your W-2 will be blank or zero).  If they did withhold FICA, you cannot get it refunded when you file your tax return.
