I have my daughter that goes to college and she only worked for two months. So my questions is can I include her on my taxes or does she have to file for her own?

She only worked for two months she earn like $2000 on the two months that she worked she get financial aid true me.

[Vanessa · Accepted solution]

She will need to file her own tax return IF she is filing it in order to get a refund.  Otherwise, at $2,000 she is below the filing threshold of $6,350 for a dependent and does not have to file a return.

so can I claim her on my taxes?

[Vanessa]

Is she under 24 and a Full Time student?

[Vanessa]

If so, yes you can claim her as a dependent, but you do not include her income on your tax return.  She will either file her own return and say someone else can claim her or the income will just not be reported on a tax return since it is under the filing threshold.

yes she is under 24 and full time student she only worked for 2 months
