Students are not exempt from filing whether or not they can be claimed as a dependent mon their parents' or anyone else's tax return. The requirement for a dependent can be found in Table 2 on page 3 of Publication 501. These apply to anyone who can be claimed as a dependent whether they are a student or not.

For people who cannot be claimed as dependents, see Table 1 on page 2:

Everyone should also refer to Table 3 on page 4 to see if there are additional reasons for filing:

For example, if you have your own business or are self-employed and earned more than $400, you have to file. If you earn tips that you didn't report to your employer, you have to file. If you earned more than $108 in wages from a church or religious, tax-exempt organization, you have to file. If you want a refund on any taxes you have already paid, you have to file.

Remember, even if you're exempt from filing federal taxes, you still may need to file a state tax return. Check the laws for your individual state.
