You do not include your dependent child's wages on your tax return.
- A dependent child who has earned more than $14,600 of earned income (tax year 2024) typically needs to file a personal income tax form. Earned income includes wages, tips, salaries, and payment from self-employment.
- A dependent child who receives more than $1,300 in investment income in 2024 is required to file a tax return. Investment income includes interest and dividend payments.
