Get your taxes done using TurboTax

How you report your child's investment income depends on how much they've made.  A person is considered your child if they're a dependent under the age of 19 (24 if a full-time student) as of December 31, 2024.

 

  • If your child's only income is unearned and doesn't exceed $1,300, it doesn't need to be reported.
  • If your child's unearned income is between $1,300 and $14,600, they may need to file their own return, but in certain situations, this income can be included on your return.
  • If your child's unearned income is $14,600 or more, they need to file their own return.
