Deductions & credits

The taxpayer (minor or not) can only get  back the withholding in box 2 of the W-2.  You can not get back the withholding in box  4 (social security) and box 6 (Medicare).  

 

Whether you get  any of the box 2 amount depends on your total income.  Dependents may a;so get  a reduced standard deduction if they have unearned income.
