Whether or not a cut bleed depends on whether a blood vessel has been cut which wither depends on the depth of the cut or the thickness of the skin in the area. If it's not bleeding (e.g. very shallow cut to the palm of the hand) it is because (1) the skin is thicker, (2) no blood vessel has been penetrated.

Has the cut penetrated into the dermis or epidermis if you are not bleeding?

If there is no bleeding, the cut has likely not penetrated into the dermis, as the dermis contains blood vessels that would typically bleed when injured. It is more likely that the cut is limited to the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. However, some deeper abrasions or injuries may not bleed if they are superficial and do not damage the blood vessels. A thorough examination is needed to determine the depth of the injury.
