<prompt> Human: As a minor I know there are some different tax laws. A friend of mine told me that I could claim the money taxed from my income and get it back, is this true?  <response>: Generally speaking if youre young and working a PT minimum-wage or around that, your tax liability is pretty low. You might have 30 of your paychecks withheld, but could potentially get about half of that back in a refund. But being a minor has nothing to do with it.
