Does that mean I am exempt if my parents don’t claim me anymore? This is the first year where I am not claimed anymore.</P> Thu, 20 Mar 2025 14:21:54 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/college-education/discussion/w2-question/01/3584487#M60525 sierrajcurry 2025-03-20T14:21:54Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/college-education/discussion/re-w2-question/01/3584511#M60526 <P>Not being claimed as someone else's dependent does not make you exempt from paying tax. &nbsp; If you earned less than $14,600 then you will not owe any tax if you were a W-2 employee, but you can still file a tax return to seek a refund if there are any amounts in boxes 2 or 17 of your W-2. &nbsp; If you had any self-employment income of even $400, you are required to file a tax return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.</P> Thu, 20 Mar 2025 14:33:27 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/college-education/discussion/re-w2-question/01/3584511#M60526 xmasbaby0 2025-03-20T14:33:27Z
