I made 7900$ this year. The rest of my income was child support and student loans. Do I need to file a tax return.

No, unless-

  • You are a dependent of another taxpayer. -or-
  • The $7900 includes 1099MISC income and not just W2 -or-
  • You received the Advanced Premium Tax Credit towards a Marketplace health plan -or-
  • You have something else "unusual" which requires you to file

Were federal or state taxes withheld? You'd want to consider filing to get them back.

If you have child support, that means you have a child... don't forget there are tax credits for children that can make filing worthwhile. Some of the $7900 needs to be from working for this to benefit you.
