A few years ago I claimed my minor child (was my year per the divorce decree) but it seems my ex claimed her before I could file so, I had to send in the paper filing.
Now, my minor child has a job and we are filing her taxes this year but I am still claiming her as a dependent. Will Turbo Tax let both of us e-file?? Or will one of us have to send in a paper filing?
TIA
As long as your dependent says in MY INFO that they can be claimed as someone else's dependent, you should both be fine to e-file.
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 might also want to use free software from the IRS Free File versions:
https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/
You appear to be using TurboTax (TT) for Windows (download software). You may e-file up to 5 federal returns from that program for free. There is a charge to e-file any state returns (except NY).
For those using online TT, you must open separate account for you dependent child to file her own returns. State e-filing is free with the online program.
