I cammed for a few months last year and made $2600. I am a 22 y/o single dependent student living with parents (fyi i do NOT receive financial aid). Publication 501 says that I do not have to file if my earned income was less than $5950. BUT I heard that if you are an independent contractor, you have to file if your income was over $600. Is that true?
My dad is actually an accountant, but he thinks I work at Publix, where I would be an "employee". So thats different.
Also, if I do have to file, the first thing that turbotax asks me is if I am an independent contractor. I say yes, and it asks me to pay for their services (but I know there is a free version) Do I have to pay for it?
This is my first time filing -.-
Thx for your help guys!![]()
