Hi my question is, my son work last year and I have his W2 how do I report it in my taxes?

[jerry2000 · Accepted solution]

You can't report his W-2 on your tax return. He has to file his own return and report it there.

No matter if he lives the whole year with me, still in high school, is a Senior and it was a part time job and he is only 18?

[jerry2000]

Absolutely none of that matters. He has to file his own tax return. The tax rules do not allow you to claim a dependent's wages on your tax return. You can still claim him as a dependent, but he has to file his own tax return.

Is the first time that this happend to me, so I make my tax with my daugther and I can't report the expenses that he have the whole year living with me?

[jerry2000]

I do not understand that question. What expenses do you want to report for him?

[damarislaprieta]

Living expenses, like food, clothing, rent, utilities, cell phone, gas
