If that is your only income, you do not need to file a return at all, since the amount is under $400*.
If you do need to file, there is no reason they need to see or even know about your return. You file a separate return for your income. Your income does not go on their return.
There is a rule that says IF
somebody else can claim you as a dependent, you are not allowed to
claim your own exemption. If you have
sufficient income (usually
more than $6300), you can & should still file
taxes, you just don’t get your own $4000 exemption (deduction). In TurboTax,
you indicate that somebody else can claim you as a dependent.
*A dependent must file a tax return for 2016 if he had any of the following:
1. Total income (wages,
salaries, taxable scholarship etc.) of more than $6,300 (2016).
2. Unearned income (interest,
dividends, capital gains) of more than $1050 (2016).
3. Unearned income over $350
and gross income of more than $1050
4. Household employee income
(e.g. baby sitting, lawn mowing) over $2000 ($6300 if under age 18)
5. Other self employment
income over $400, including box
7 of a 1099-MISC
Even if he had less, he is allowed to file if
he needs to get back income tax withholding. He cannot get back social security
or Medicare tax withholding.
He doesn’t get his own $4050 exemption
(deduction), when he files. In TurboTax, he indicates that somebody else can
claim him as a dependent, at the personal information section.
