Rachel d asked:
I’m an incoming freshman this year, and I just got an administrative assistant position at a hospital on Saturdays. I’ll be going to school full-time, but I plan on working through the week during the summer. How much money can I legally make without it affecting my financial aid package? Is there a certain amount of money you can make and not have to file taxes?

Ive heard its 6,000 for financial aid before it begins to affect the aid you could receive. As far as taxes go, you need to file always, but I made 3,500 as a soph in highschool and never filed-I was told that they wouldnt have taken anything because I made too little-So I guess you could make so little that you dont need to file, but if you do (which would be in your best interest) you would get a complete refund, even if thats only 50 bucks, thats worth filing your taxes.
I’ve found some good information here…
Good Luck.
