Irs called Civil Demand its a Civil fine (non criminal) anywhere from $50.00 to $1000.00 depending on local laws and circumstances of theft. I am a Retail Theft consultant and answer question slike yours daily. Below are two links that can help answer more for you

You didn't say how old you are. If you are a minor, tell (talk to) your parents. If you're not a minor, then read the links above in order to understand a civil demand & to help you decide whether to pay.

FYI if you are a minor the Civil Demand fine goes to your parents so failing to pay can cause issues for you and your parents
