It all depends on how much you make. I myself am 17 and I make 15 an hour. I have to pay some taxes but they aren't as big since I am still working part-time and I am still a dependent.

You have to pay some taxes when u get a job, but it all depends on how much you make as they said. I make 15 an hour as well and I pay 2 diff taxes i think. You can always check you're paystub to see what taxes you've been paying and google what it means lol

You don't have to pay taxes if u are under 18, in fact u should file a tax return to get it back

If you are emancipated, or if you are not a beneficiary to your parents, and you make more than 12,000 a year, and you are 16+, then you do. As long as ur not an orphan (if u are then L) then ur fine. I would talk to your employer just in case because laws vary state to state.

(the $12,000 a year is the poverty line, it changes every year so I would look that one up)
