If their only income is W2 and under 13,850 they do not have to file a return except to get back any withholding taken out. If they got a 1099NEC for any amount they have to file a return.


They don't have to file if they only have W2 income under 13,850 (2023) but can file to get back any withholding taken out in boxes 2 or 17. But you don't get boxes 4 or 6 back. If they got a 1099Misc or 1099NEC they have to file it as self employment income no matter how small the amount.


Be sure on their return they check the box that says they can be claimed on someone else’s return.
