Dependent Children

1 reply
24 views

I have two dependent children, ages 18 and 15, who worked this year. Do I file separate tax returns for them or add them to my return. If I can add them too my return, how do I do that? Turbo Tax doesn't seem to allow me to add a W-2 for anyone other than myself or my wife.

If they are required to file, they would each file their own returns and they would mark that they are being claimed as dependents.

Dependents have their own filing requirements.

Dependents – If you can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer, your standard deduction for 2021 is limited to the greater of: (1) $1,100, or (2) your earned income plus $350 (but the total can't be more than the basic standard deduction for your filing status).
