Do I have to file tax return if I made only 300$?

Question

I'm a college student and did a temporary job over the summer for school. Got a check of 300$ but do I have to file a tax return? Since it is not a high amount of earnings, I do not correct? Will I get charged?

Thank you for explaining. Good morning everyone.

Answer 1

the only reason you need to file is if income tax was withheld on that $300 that you do not owe and should be refunded to you

Answer 2

Did they send you a w-2 or a 1099? If not...you do not have to.

Answer 3

not federal. State and local depend on where you are

Answer 4

No
