Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Your son will probably receive a W-2 or a 1099-MISC for his internship work.
You should not include your son's wages on your return. He should file his own return if necessary.
If children are still considered your dependents they must file if:
- Their unearned income is greater than $1,050 (like interest and dividends);
- Their earned income is greater than $6,300 (from a job, reported on a W-2); or
- They received a 1099-MISC and their net earnings from self-employment was at least $400.
If you are unsure of whether you need to file, try this IRS tool: Do I Need to File a Tax Return?
If your son files his own return, be
sure that he checks the box that says he can be claimed on someone else's
return. That is very important.
Your TurboTax online login is only good for 1 return. But you can
use the same email address for 5 accounts. For more information see: How
do I start another return in TurboTax Online?
