[Event] MetLife & TurboTax Present: The Ask Us Anything Forum
No,
the 5,050 is a requirement for claiming a dependent as your Qualifying Relative, there is no income limit for claiming a Qualifying Child as your dependent.
Your daughter, as your dependent, will need to file a return if she has:
Just EARNED INCOME like from a job of 15,750
Just UNEARNED INCOME like interest or investments 1,350
BOTH EARNED and UNEARNED INCOME the greater of 1,350 or earned income plus 450 (up to 15,750)
It sounds a bit confusing, but only if she has both earned and unearned income, then you need to do a little math, or let TurboTax do the math for you.
If someone needn't file, TurboTax tells them and they needn't continue the return.
