Okay, you "may" need to amend your 2017 tax return, and if so it may actually be to your benefit. But I'm not to that point yet. There also may not be any need for you to amend at all, too. You may be fine.
Understand that there is a difference between reportable income, and taxable income. Just because income may be reportable to the IRS, does not mean it's taxable. Now for the next question. But do pardon my slowness here, as I'm trying to be thorough. I know you're stressed and a bit upset right now. So I'm in hopes you can get to sleep tonight with a sigh of relief.
Okay, reportable income includes earned income reported to you on a W-2, self-employment income received from a business you own or a business you have an ownership interest in, as well as any unused scholarship money returned to you in 2017 (key words, "returned in 2017".) and a few other things that I'm assuming do't' apply to you. (i.e., interest income reported to you on a 1099-DIV for example)
So for 2017, did the total of all your reportable income exceed $6,350?
