What about my child's Alaska PFD?

A child's Alaska PFD needs to be reported, even if it was their only source of income in 2024.

If your child's total income was exclusively unearned (meaning the Alaska PFD, plus interest, dividends, or capital gains distributions—no wages or other income earned by working) and was less than $13,000, you can either report their PFD on your return or your child can report it on their own return.

Otherwise, if your child's unearned income (including the Alaska PFD) is $13,000 or more, they must file their own return.

Choose your product and follow the steps if you want to include your child's PFD on your return.
