I HAVE A CHILD THAT GOES TO COLLEGE AND WORKS HOW MUCH DOES HE NEED TO MAKE TO FILE A RETURN

[jayson-featherst]

MY SON IS 19 FULL TIME STUDENT AND MADE 7799 LAST YEAR DOES HE NEED TO OR DOES HE NEED TO FILE AN RETURN?

It depends on what type of income he received, and whether he's your dependent, but if the $7,799 were from wages, he wouldn't need to file a return, either way.

Please see the TurboTax FAQs below -- the first addresses his filing requirements if he's your dependent, and the second addresses his requirements if he's not your dependent.

Do I need to file my own taxes if I'm a dependent?
