I claim my daughter as a dependent. I don't itemize deductions, I take the standard deduction. My daughter has some passive income and needs to file taxes. Since I claim her as a dependent her standard deduction is very low and she itemizes to deduct last year's state taxes paid.
If her clothes are donated to a charity, can she deduct that donation (my wife and I paid for the clothes but gave them to her)? What about mileage in the family car when she drives herself somewhere to volunteer for a charitable organization? The car is in my name, but it is "hers" (she is the only driver, and the registered driver on the insurance policy)
