Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There isn't a set dollar amount that your child can earn and no longer be your dependent. Your dependent must meet the requirements to be a dependent no matter how much they earn. 

  • For example: if your child earns $20,000 from a part-time job and doesn't use it to support themselves, you still financially support/provide over 50% of their care, they would still qualify as your dependent. 
  • TurboTax will ask you dependent requirement questions when you enter your child.
