State tax filing

The IRS filing threshold for unearned income received by a minor child for 2019 $1,100. The Alaska Permanent Fund dividend for 2019 is $1,606. Therefore, you have two options for filing on behalf of the dependent: 

  1. File a return for the dependent child and claim the dividend on 1099-Misc box 3. 
  2. Include the income on your (guardian) return by including Form 8814 in your return.
