Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You do not. You never report a dependent's income from work on your return.  They report work income on their own return, and they must check the box for "I can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return."  You can only file one return per account with Turbotax online, so you will need to create a second account, but it can use the same email address for notifications as long as the user name is different. Also, if your dependents income is low enough they may qualify to use the Freedom Edition. The dependent will need to meet at least one of these requirements:

  1. A maximum 2015 adjusted gross income (AGI) of $31,000; or 
  2. You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or 
  3. You served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum 2015 AGI of $62,000 (you'll also need a military-issued W-2).

Freedom Edition is available online at www.taxfreedom.com. Please note that the Freedom Edition website is not connected to the TurboTax.com website.

Also – don't confuse Freedom Edition with Federal Free Edition at TurboTax.com. These similarly-named products are completely different.

Tip: If you're preparing multiple returns for family members, it's more economical to switch to the TurboTax CD/Download software, which lets you e-file up to 5 federal returns at no additional cost.
