Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You do not add her income to your return. 

 

 Instead, if this is income from a job, and she had taxes withheld, you will file a return for her marking that she can be claimed as a dependent on your return so she can claim a refund for the taxes withheld.

 

If she did not have taxes withheld, and this was as an employee, then she does not need to file a return.

 

If she was self-employed, then she will need to file a return since the income is over $400.
