Yes, your child will need to file a tax return if they had net earnings from self-employment of at least $400.

If they do, they need to select "Someone else can claim me" in the Personal Info section if they are a Dependent. 

 

You can use the same email for your TurboTax Online account but must use a separate Username and password. 

TurboTax Desktop allows 5 users.

 

Which dependents need to file?

According to the IRS:

Single dependents—Were you either age 65 or older or blind? 

 

No. 

You must file a return if any of the following apply. 

1. Your unearned income was more than $1,250. 

2. Your earned income was more than $13,850. 

3. Your gross income was more than the larger of: a. $1,250, or b. Your earned income (up to $13,450) plus $400. 

Yes. 

You must file a return if any of the following apply. 

1. Your unearned income was more than $3,100 ($4,950 if 65 or older and blind). 

2. Your earned income was more than $15,700 ($17,550 if 65 or older and blind). 

3. Your gross income was more than the larger of: a. $3,100 ($4,950 if 65 or older and blind), or b. Your earned income (up to $13,450) plus $2,250 ($4,100 if 65 or older and blind).

 

OR "You had net earnings from self-employment of at least $400."
