@LP1968 let's make sure we are on the same wave length....these are all questions that relate to the tax return you will submit by April 15, 2024 (which is the 2023 tax year)
While everyone is going to file taxes by April, 2023, that is the '2022 tax year'.
putting the kiddie tax aside, the child ALWAYS is responsible for reporting his income. It never goes on your tax return. Assuming his income is from W-2s, if his income is below the standard deduction ($12,950 in 2022), then there is no requirement to file, however, it's the only way to get back any tax withholdings.
TT will calculate the kiddie tax if the child is required to file
Given that information, please ask your questions again.
