Yes. If someone is claiming you as a dependent, you might need to do your own taxes. If you find yourself saying, “Yes, that’s me,” to anything below, the IRS requires that you file a tax return of your own.
- You earned more than $6,300.
- You have more than $1,050 of unearned income. Unearned income is money that you get without working like interest and dividends.
- Your gross income was more than the larger of (a) $1,050 or (b) your earned income (up to $5,950) plus $350.
- You had net earnings of at least $400 from your business or self-employment.
- You had tax taken out of your paychecks and you want it back.
