It is asking if any of your dependents (children you are claiming on your tax return) are also filing their own return.
There are times when a child is a dependent (so you claim them) but they worked, so they have to file a return also.
That is what it is asking, are you claiming anyone on your tax return that is also filing their own tax return.
(By the way, if a dependent files their own tax return, they select "Someone else can claim me" and "Someone else will claim me" so that the other taxpayer (the parent usually) can claim them.)
Thanks KrisD 15 for the quick reply.
1) Yes, I was told even if she was counted as my dependent and made less than $4200, she would still file return so she can get her small refund if any. Is that correct ?
2) I am confused because when I applied online for Healthcare.gov, the system didn't add or count her income to mine because she made less than 2019 poverty line for single of $13,000 as they told me. Now her income is coming a factor in 1095A which could affect and lower the Healthcare subsidy amount I was qualified for. Please confirm.
No, your household income for the purpose of the Premium Tax Credit doesn't include the income of dependents, unless they are required to file a tax return.
