<prompt> Human: I started working at the start of October and made about 8000 through the end of the year. I know nothing about taxes because Ive never filed before and am not sure what I should do. A friend told me that you always get federal and state back, which for me would be 840 fed, and 200 California state. Was also told that making less than 10,000 I qualify for a 400 tax credit. I didnt claim any dependants on my paperwork if that makes a difference. In tee past, Ive always worked under the table for cash so iced never had to deal with this. Any input would be greatly appreciated.  <response>: Always Turbo Tax!! Have used it for the past 8 years. Absolutely love how user friendly it is.
