I do apologize - I posted a thread with a question about W-8 forms, when I meant W-9. I do not seem to be able to edit the original thread, nor able to reply to it, so I will post my question again here.

Hello, I am a single WV resident under 65, living with my boyfriend. I am just about to graduate from college, and currently my only income comes from Patreon, a site which requires its users to fill out a W-9 form for those who make over $600 per year, which I do. However, since Patreon is my only income at this time, and I only make about $912 a year through the site, am I required to file taxes on it? I realize that my income sources may change before next year, but I am curious as to how this situation would be treated in regard to tax.

Thanks!
