Downs child and 2024 Fed.Tax and NM tax filing.

[jonjon2002]

We claim our adult son in our tax return for 2024. Does our adult son have to file his own return if his SSA is $13,644.00 and his part time job wage is 6,906.91? He is on Developmental Disability Waiver and has Down Syndrome.

Thank you for your support,

No, he does not have to file since his taxable income will be less than the Standard Deduction for a Single taxpayer, $14,600

However, if he had income taxes withheld he should file to get a refund of the taxes withheld.  If he does file and you are claiming him as a dependent, then make sure that he indicates on his tax return that he can be claimed as a dependent.
