Do I need to report work-study wages as a college student if those wages are not taxed?

[DawnC · Accepted solution]

It depends on how much you earned, your age and your filing status.   You can view the chart provided in this link to determine whether you are required to file a tax return.   You also must file a federal return if:

• You had $400 or more in self-employment net earnings (gross income minus expenses).
• You had marketplace health insurance, and you received advance payments for the premium tax credit.
• You (or your spouse if filing jointly) received a health savings account, Archer MSA, or Medicare Advantage MSA distribution.
• You had wages of $108.28 or more from a church or qualified church-controlled organization that is exempt from employer social security and Medicare taxes.
• You owe any special taxes.
