Deductions & credits

Yes, TurboTax will allow you to file a tax return for your dependent 16 year old child. Since she only made $1,700 last year and if she had no other income, she is not required to file a tax return but if her employer deducted tax withholdings, she should file to get the money back. 

 

Follow the recommendation that MonikaK1 gave you in the post above for filing your child’s tax return in TurboTax.
