If your child is younger than age 19 or a full-time student age 19-23, he or she must file a tax return for 2019 if he or she had any of the following:
-
Unearned income (interest, dividends, capital gains, taxable scholarships, unemployment compensation) of more than $1,050.
-
Earned income (wages, salaries, tips, and fees) of more than $12,200.
-
Gross income (earned and unearned income) was more than the larger of: $1,050 or earned income (up to $12,000) plus $350
If none of the above items apply and you qualify to claim your child as your dependent your child may want to file anyway to get a refund of any tax withheld.
