MY DEPENDENT HAD A JOB

If your dependent has a W-2 for his after-school job, summer job, etc. you do not include the information on your own return. You can still claim your child as a dependent on your own return. He/she can file his own return for a refund of some of his withheld wages (he won’t get back anything for Social Security or Medicare), but MUST indicate on it that he can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. (Supervise this closely or prepare it for him!)

If your dependent’s earnings were over $400 and were reported on a 1099Misc or 1099NEC then he must file a return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare. You may want to use this version of TT for that:

it does NOT go on YOUR taxes under any circumstances; it goes on HIS taxes if he needs to file.

generally if he had a W-2 with federal tax withholdings he needs to file to get the money back

if he is given a 1099-NEC he MUST file

You will need to set up a new online account for him. The Online version is only good for 1 return. You can use the same email address for 5 accounts. To do another return you have to set up a new account and new user name and pay any fees again. That's why it's better to use the Desktop CD/Download program. The Desktop program can do more than 1 return and efile 5 for free.

Your son will also qualify for the TurboTax Freefile and federal and state will be filed for free. If you make a new account for him,, then you may have to pay for some of his filing.
