16 year old Job Coros

[Kandicemcrigger]

My son, 16 , went to Job Corps in November 2024 in North Carolina. I haven't received a w2 for him as of today and he told me he is technically getting a living allowance. He lived with me all year last year. Not sure how to file.

Did your son receive the W-2 or is there a way to log into an account and see his W-2?

According to the Job Corp page, this is all considered taxable income.  Taxes are not withheld due to the assumption that their income will be too  low to have a filing requirement.  So if he had any other income or received a total of more than $14,600, he will need to file a return.  If his total income was less than $14,600, he would not need to file a return.
