I live in Ohio, and they did not take taxes out for it. I couldn't figure out how to do that during the time. I'm single and only job I had one month made 308.
You have not mentioned your filing status. Will you be filing a joint return with a spouse? If so, then all of your combined income must be entered on the joint return including any unemployment benefits you received. Or are you single? And was the unemployment your ONLY income for 2022?
Who has to file?
As long as you are not a dependent, you are under the filing threshold of $12,950. The filing requirement for OH is even higher.
Even if you are not required to file a return you can choose to do so to get back any taxes withheld and/or any refundable credits you may be eligible for... so wait for the IRS FREE FILE options to become available in January and see if you have anything coming back to you. https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free
And I had a job for a month but it was only 308 dollars
Again ... you may be eligible for a refundable credit ... in January fill in a return on the IRS FREE FILE site and see. If your only income is $300 then you may be a dependent on someone else's return.
You can only claim a dependent who satisfies the IRS’s guidelines for qualification. This section will go into those tests and explain who qualifies and who doesn’t.
But this is only the first step. After determining whom you can claim as a dependent, another series of tests must be applied to determine what credits and deductions you’re eligible for because of the dependent.
There are potentially higher tax credits for claiming a dependent child than there are for claiming other types of dependents, such as an elderly parent.
The dependent child must satisfy the IRS’s following tests:
Qualifying dependent relatives include anyone who satisfies a separate set of guidelines from the IRS.
Note that the key difference between this type of dependent and the qualifying child dependent is that this dependent may not have to have lived with you most of the year. For example, a child can be a qualifying relative to you, even if they’re not a qualifying child, if he or she lives apart from you.
The IRS’s guidelines for qualification are as follows:
Additionally, the dependent must have lived with you for the entire year (with some exceptions) unless he or she falls into one of the following categories, which are considered “relatives who don’t have to live with you” while receiving your support:
@cocoashuman all the advice is good, but let me "cut to the chase"
1) you have no requirment to file.
However,
2) the only way to get any federal or state tax withholdings back from the paychecks (if there are any) is to file
3) the only way to get the Earned Income Tax Credit is to file. At ~$4000 of income. that is ~$300 that you can receive.
