Investors & landlords

You don't need to report your child's 1099-Div on your tax return, nor are they required to file, unless they want to get tax withheld on wages refunded. 

 

For dependents, a return is required to be filed if:

 

  • Your earned income (money you made by working) exceeds $13,850
  • Your unearned income (interest, dividends, capital gains, etc.) exceeds $1,250
