Yes, you will need to file.
When a dependent (child or adult) may need to file a tax return
Taxpayers who are claimed as a dependent on someone's tax return are subject to different IRS filing requirements, regardless of whether they are children or adults. A tax return is necessary when their earned income is more than their standard deduction.
The standard deduction for single dependents who are under age 65 and not blind is the greater of:
- $1,250 in 2023
- Or the sum of $400 + the person's earned income, up to the standard deduction for an unclaimed single taxpayer which is $13,850 in 2023.
A dependent's income can be "unearned" when it comes from sources such as dividends and interest. When a dependent's unearned income is greater than $1,250 in 2023, the dependent must file a tax return.
