The Kiddie Tax applies if your child:
- has unearned income (usually from investments) exceeding $2,600
- is required to file a return
- isn’t filing jointly
- is under age 18 (or under age 24 if a full-time student) as of January 1, 2025
Children who only have earned income from a job or self-employment, don’t make enough money to be required to file, or are filing jointly with their spouses are exempt from the Kiddie Tax.
See Kiddie Tax - for entering steps.
