<prompt> Human: Hello,You could say that it has taken a little while for me to get me feet under me as an adult. I started my first job at the beginning of this year2018. Figuring out credit well. Overall, feeling pretty positive about the future considering, but one thing that has me stumped is taxes. I did my interview for this job on December 27th and think I did my first day of paid training on the 29th. First day of actual work was the 4th of January and Ive been making about 8.50HR and averaging about 30 hours a week. I know Ive been paying taxes because of my pay stub, but I dont know if i have to file anything for this year or if it is all going into next year. On the same page, I dont know if it is possible to get a refund on anything Ive paid in or if that, again, is all going to next year. I dont think Id get much if anything, but a little bit now instead of later is never unwelcome. I have no idea what credits or penalties I have. I am currently using some assistance programs like snap and Medicaid. I dont have any children and Im currently single. I am not currently a student, but the plan is to return to school while working part time. My sister said I might qualify for some kind of earned income credit, but I dont think I earned more than like 15 last year.If you need any more information, please dont hesitate to ask.Thank you,-Adam  <response>: The taxes filed this year are for income earned in 2017. If this was your only job last year, then you had at most three days worth of income. You could try filling out the form and see where it goes, but it doesnt sound like its necessary until next year when you file for your 2018 income if you are under age 65 and single, you must file a tax return if you earn 10,400 or more
