<prompt> Human: Im unsure if I should file taxes or not, or if I may owe unpaid taxes. Im 18, live at home, and my parents are claiming me as a dependent. Through the job that I got 7 months prior in 2014, I was able to make 5200 gross. When I got the job, I filled out a W-4 that set my allowances, etc. I believe I mistakenly filled out that form as I claimed exempt status from federal withholding despite my being a dependant last year also. Now that tax season is coming around, I realized my error when I saw my pay stub showing 0 in federal withholding, and that I may ultimately owe the Fed money that they hadnt been taking from my checks to begin with. Using an IRS questionnaire, I was told that I wouldnt have to file taxes given my income not being above a certain amount, but Im still seriously concerned about potentially owing the government money. Can someone point me in the right direction?Edit: Thanks everyone! You were a huge help.  <response>: Under 6,200 is fine assuming no self employment income or anything crazy. All of your income is deductible.
