Do I need to file 2021 tax return? I'm a student and I made less than $2500 last year. I don't owe any money and I don't get any refund either.

It depends on what type of income you made.

Your will have to file a return if:

• You had unearned income (interest, dividends, capital gains) of more than $1,100;
• You had only earned income (wages, salaries, tips, fees) of more than $12,550; or
• You were self-employed with $400 or more income.

In cases of mixed income (earned and unearned), file a return if:

• Unearned income was more than $350, and gross income of more than $1,100, or
• Unearned income was $350 or less, and gross income of more than $12,500

State filing requirement may be different.  Also, did you receive any scholarships or grants?
