Deductions & credits

Hi MC4C! She will only need to file if she earned over $12,550 in 2021 if employed or $400 if she was an independent contractor. She will file her own return but just mark that she is being claimed by another taxpayer as a dependent. While she may not need to file, she may be eligible to get a refund based on the witholding she paid during her employment.
