Depending on the amount you earn, you may need to file a tax return. If you are a dependent and the total is less than the personal exemption ($12,400 for 2020) you would not have to file a tax return.
Except in rare cases, work study is treated as any other job but also counts as part of your financial aid. You should check with the school- you want to make sure they have the correct information for withholding.
If you are a full time college student under age 24, if you do not pay for more than half of your own support (including tuition and living expenses)- your mom should still be able to claim you as a dependent.
