Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You may have to file an income tax return if you have grant money and you are being claimed as a dependent. This is because a grant is considered "unearned income".

 

A student who is a dependent will file a return if:

  • Unearned income was more than $350, and gross income of more than $1,100, or
  • Unearned income was $350 or less, and gross income of more than $12,550
