1099-NEC

mmdy — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 03:14:35 GMT

My daughter is 21 year old full time student and she received 1099-NEC for 6000$. Turbotax does not ask me to declare her income. How do I declare her income? I am claiming her as dependent, as I am supporting her fully.

Does she need to file tax return?

Thanks

Your daughter does need to file a return based on the 1099-NEC income. She is below the filing requirement if her income was reported on a W-2, but the 1099-NEC is for Nonemployee Compensation and is reported as self-employment income. Self-employment income over $400 is required to be reported on a tax return. She will not claim herself and file as a dependent.

Please see this TurboTax Help about Form 1099-NEC.

No, she would need to file her own return. The only income that you are able to add to your return is from 1099-INT and 1099-DIV.
