Do I need to claim $5K of SSA-1099 family benefit? I have less than $1K on a W-2, less than $2K on a 1099-NEC for DoorDashing. It's the 1st year I'm filing independently.

I'm a college student and have only had 2 part-time jobs so far.

Once you hit $400 on 1099-NEC, you must file.

You must report all income.
