Dependent question

Thanks for joining us today, Anieves!

 

To be a dependent, a qualifying child must meet certain criteria:

• Your child must be under the age of 19, or, if a full-time student, under age 24.
• Your child must live with your for more than half the year (several exceptions apply.)
• Your child may have a job, but they cannot provide more than half their own support.

For tax year 2024, if your daughter made less than $13,850, there is no need to file income taxes; however,

if her job took out withholding amounts she would want to file to get that money back in refunds.

NOTE: if she does file, she will need to check the box on the 1040 return under Standard Deduction "Someone can claim You as a dependent". (She will still get her refunds.)
