<prompt> Human: Im clueless on this and have seen conflicting information online but have a pretty simple questionIm 16 and reffed this summer and got a 1099 misc, I made 1050, do I have to file or not?ThanksEdit: Im in Texas if that matters  <response>: If the 1099 is legitimate self-employmentindependent-contractor income and not you being misclassified then yes. The cutoff in that case is 433. Prepare for 14.3 150 of tax.Not 10,400, which wouldnt even be the right value if you were classified correctly, because youre virtually certainly a dependent.
