Does my 16 year old need to file a tax return for odd jobs?
In 2020 my son, who was 16 at the time, did odd jobs for me (lawn mowing, raking, etc.).
I paid him cash.
He earned $6000 for the year, which was put into a newly opened Roth IRA as a Tax Year 2020 contribution.
He was not an "employee" and no W2, 1098 or 1099 was created.
I'm not sure if he needs to file a tax return, and if he does, would it be a form 1040 with a Schedule C and a Schedule SE?
Do I, as the parent, need to pay any sort of tax or fill out any paperwork such as a W2?
