You do not include your child's wages on your
return. They should file their own return if necessary.
If children are still
considered your dependents they must file if:
- Their unearned income is greater than $1,050
(like interest and dividends);
- Their earned income is greater than $6,350
(from a job, reported on a W-2); or
- They
received a 1099-MISC and their net earnings from self-employment was at
least $400.
If your child files their own return, be
sure that they check the box that says they can be claimed on someone else's
return. That is very important.
Your TurboTax online login is only good for 1 return. But you can
use the same email address for 5 accounts. For more information
