Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You never put a dependent income on your tax return.  It can only go on the dependents own tax return  if they are required to file one.

 

Do you pay MORE than half the keeping of the household for the entire year?   That would be unusual for a student to do.

 

See worksheet 1 in IRS pub501 to determine if you qualify.
