If I make $5,000 from a REU / SURF, will I have to file a tax return? If so, will it affect my financial aid? What is the threshold for a single dependent still living with parents to not have to file taxes nor have it affect financial aid?

Is it $5,800?

the threshold is $5800 and no you dont have to file a tax return if that is the only $ you earn in a year. But it will be factored into the FA calculations.
