<prompt> Human: Taxes In 2017, I was 17 and worked a weekend job. In 2017, I earned 4804 and my employer did not take any money out for federal taxes, and only took 0.03 out for state LA. My employer never told me that he was not pulling federal for me. I am wondering if the fact that I was 17 means that I still owe money since none was taken out. My parents did claim me as a dependent for 2017, but my W2 was not claimed with theirs. We asked our preparer if she thought I should file and she said no. I am applying to colleges and I am worried that if I do owe money to the IRS, it will effect my FAFSA Financial Aid.  <response>: You didnt make enough to pay taxes, I believe. More than that, if a professional gives you advice, usually a good idea to listen, and ask questions if youre not sure about something.
