Meager Earnings

Paying for College

<p>Last year, I tutored for my school and earned $150. Do I have to file a tax return and report this on my FAFSA/CSS profile considering that it's such a small amount?</p>

<p>If federal taxes were deducted - yes, file a return
If federal taxes were not deducted - no, don't bother</p>

<p>If you received a W-2 - yes, include your earnings on FAFSA/Profile.
If you didn't receive a W-2--no, don't bother</p>
