Hi- I am 16 years old, and I live in NJ. I made just over $11,000 this year working. I recieved my W2's recently, and my mom called the tax place. They told her that since I broke $10,000, I was getting just about nothing back in refunds. I thought that if you are 18 and under your parents care you get most of your tax money back? Is this right? Thanks in advance for any help.
