Do I need to sign a tax return I helped prepare for my 16 yr old child ?
This is her first tax return with minimal earned income from a first job. If so, how do you sign as parent in turbotax CD version (if necessary for an e-filed return) - i've read that if the minor can, then they should "sign" their return. This may be academic since it is e-filed, but wasn't sure. Isn't a good idea to sign as parent so the parent can be available in case the IRS has questions ? should i e-file as is, or as parent is there anything else i need to do before clicking submit with my childs name.
Also, as parent may i use my email address and phone number when requested in TurboTax as opposed to my childs,etc
Thanks for any help !
