My 17yr daughter received a W2 from a part time job. Does she need to file separately if I still supported her and she only made $1042.20?

No. You do not report his/her income on your return. If it has to be reported at all, it goes on his own return. If your dependent child is under age 19 (or under 24 if a full time student), he or she must file a tax return for 2016 if he had any of the following:

1. Total income (W-2 wages, salaries, taxable scholarship etc.) of more than $6,300 (2016).

2. Unearned income (interest, dividends, capital gains) of more than $1050 (2016).

3. Unearned income over $350 and gross income of more than $1050

4. Household employee income (e.g. baby sitting, lawn mowing) over $2000 ($6300 if under age 18)

5. Other self employment income over $400, including box 7 of a 1099-MISC

Even if he had less, he is allowed to file if he needs to get back income tax withholding. He cannot get back social security or Medicare tax withholding.

He doesn’t get his own $4050 exemption (deduction), when he files. In TurboTax, he indicates that somebody else can claim him as a dependent, at the personal information section.

A child of a taxpayer can still be a “Qualifying Child” (QC) dependent, regardless of his/her income, if: he is under age 19, or under 24 if a full time student for at least 5 months of the year
