No. You do not need to file a federal, Illinois or Kentucky tax return, unless you want a refund of the taxes withheld. 

If you are independent, the income threshold for 2017 is $10,400.

If someone is claiming you as a dependent, you you'll generally need to file your own 2017 tax return if:

·       Your earned income (money you made by working) exceeds $6,350, or

·       Your unearned income (interest, dividends, capital gains, etc.) exceeds $1,050, or

·       Your business or self-employment net income (gross minus expenses) is at least $400, or

·       Your gross income (earned plus unearned) exceeds the larger of $1,050 or your earned income (up to $6,000) plus $350.


To get the refunds of the taxes withheld, you will complete your federal and Illinois tax returns reporting the income you earned in both KY and Ill.
