My 15yr old received a W2 for 2021 for $1500.
He is not going to file as his income is less than $12000
Do i need to report his income or don't need to ?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
No, you do not report your child's earned income on your return.
He might still need to file a state tax return.
but if there are withholdings on that $1500... while the IRS does not require the child to file a return, the only way to get any withholdings back is to file.
