<human>: Hello,

I recently opened a Roth IRA and contributed a relatively small amount towards the 2013 tax contribution limit. However, I just started a part-time job today (I'm currently a college student) and did not have any formal income last year other than cash gifts that well exceed the contribution I made. The cash itself is in a checking account that is co-signed by a parent. I assumed this would make me eligible to contribute for 2013 as the total contribution must not exceed the income for the year in question, but after reading some articles online I am not so sure.

FWIW I file taxes as a dependent. What would you advise I do to handle this situation?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
