My son is a full time college student. He earned $2000 income in 2024 from a college job. He has no other job and no other income (no interests, dividents, etc).
He received a 1099-NEC for those $2000. Does he need to file taxes? And if so, can I include his income on my tax forms?
I thought that one needs to file taxes if one makes above a certain amount (~$14000 in 2025), which he clearly did not. I tried inputting the form on my taxes, but Turbo Tax says he is ineligible as the income was earned, as opposed to unearned.
Any clarity will be of great help! Thank you in advance.
