Did you have any withholding? To get the withholding returned to you (as a refund) is the usual reason that 16-year-olds file a return.
If your wages were reported on a W-2 and you did not have any taxes withheld then you do not need to file a tax return.
However, if the income was from self-employment and you did not receive a W-2 then you will have to file, since the income was $400 or more. You will have to report the self-employment income and expenses on a Schedule C which is included with the federal tax return, Form 1040.
If you have W-2 and only made $1700 you are not required to file a tax return. If any tax was withheld--shown in boxes 2 or 17, you can file to seek a refund of those amounts. You cannot get back anything that was withheld for Social Security or Medicare. If you had "self-employment" income on a 1099NEC, you are required to file if you made even $400. If you had self-employment you have to pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare. Post back if you need more information about that.
