This is my first time filing taxes. I know I make under $14,000 for my earned income and every where look says because I make less I don’t have to file taxes. I want to know if this is true. I also want to know if I have to file my 1098-T form from college as well

If you are a full-time student you can be claimed as a dependent so make sure that on your own return you say someone can claim you. You can file a tax return to seek a refund of the amounts in boxes 2 and 17 of your W-2 even if you did not earn more than the amount that requires you to file a tax return. Your parents are the ones who can claim the education credit. Dependents cannot get education credits.
