The child's gross income was less than $10,500.
The child is required to file a return unless you make this election.
The child does not file a joint return for the year.
No estimated tax payment was made for the year, and no overpayment from the previous year (or from any amended return) was applied to this year under your child's name and social security number.
No federal income tax was taken out of your child's income under the backup withholding rules.
You are the parent whose return must be used when applying the special tax rules for children. (See Which Parent's Return To Use , earlier.
