I was somewhere around $11-12k, about 75% from internship, 25% from university student employment. The IRS minimum to file was $5350 but when I calculated out what I owed, I was in a tax bracket that owed nothing. I figured I was in the clear and just didn't do it... until I filled out my FAFSA a few weeks ago and it gave me an error for entering "will not file" and my income. So I changed my income to $0 and it all went through. Is this going to keep me from getting federal Stafford loans? Worse yet is the IRS going to come after me for their... zero dollars? (I assume they'd come after late fees if anything.) Or is this something that is likely to go unnoticed?
