Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your parents can claim you as a dependent (whether or not they actually do claim you), you are required to file a tax return because your "unearned" income (investment income) is over $1,100. The portion of your investment income over $2,200 will be subject to kiddie tax. Interest and dividends are investment income. It makes no difference where the money for your investments came from.
