You can have them not take taxes out by claiming "0" on your W-2s (a short form you'll fill out if you're hired anywhere that tells them how much money you want taken out of each check to apply for taxes), but that may end up with you having to pay them money in April depending on how much you make. There's no rule that says the government can't tax teenagers (full time students used to be exempt many years ago but not anymore). Any money you make is taxable by state and federal government.

I've always found it best to file "2" on your W-2 form, especially as a minor when you're still a dependant of your guardians. Filing "2" generally means that they take a little extra money out of each paycheck, but then whatever extra beyond what the government decides you owe will be given back to you as a tax return. It's nice to get several hundred dollars back when you file your taxes, and if you're good with money than the little extra they take out of each check won't be a problem.

Taxes can be paid by persons of any age.

There are three taxes that involve you and your pay:

1. Social Security and Medicare tax
2. Federal income tax
3. Missouri tax

Unless you are a domestic worker, like a babysitter, you will have the first tax taken out of your pay by your employer. You will not get a refund of this tax. The total of the first tax is 7.65% of your pay.

If you are going to be earning less than $5,350 in 2007 ( I am assuming this is the case), you will not owe the second tax. However, employers may withhold this tax from your pay. This depends on how you fill out your W-4 when you are hired. If you are going to be earning very little, you can put "EXEMPT" and there will be no withholding. Otherwise, a small amount will be withheld regardless of what you put on your W-4. You can get all of this back by filing a tax return in 2008.

If you earn under $5,350, Missouri will not tax you either. If any state tax is withheld from your pay, you can get that refunded to you when you file your state tax return in 2008.

Liability for income tax is based upon your total earnings, not your age. There are infants who have taxable income.

If you're working part time at minimum wage, not a lot will be withheld but since you are most likely still a dependent of your parents you will pay slightly higher taxes than someone who is no longer a dependent.

You can go here for some handy tax calculators: http://www.paycheckcity.com Since you are still a dependent, you should probably claim 0 withholding allowances when you file the W-4 with your employer.

Yes, they'll take out 7.65% for social security and medicare. Whether you owe any income taxes or not to the feds or to MO will depend on how much you make for the year.

The responder who said that your parents will claim your income on their tax return is WRONG.

Yes

Unless you get paid under the counter yes, they will tax you.


lisalisarussell
everyone pays tax. they don't care how old you are or what your bills are. everyone pays taxes.


boulderado2000
Any income you have you have to report to the government and pay the tax they assess. if you have very little income, you are not likely to have to pay very much. learn how this works now, because you will be dealing with it the rest of your life. it's not that bad.


sbyldy@sbcglobal.net
Yes, you will have to pay taxes. You will get most of it back when you file your taxes in april.


Ginger
They would take out taxes in every state, but unless you meet the minimum income requirements you would get most of it back when you paid your taxes in April.

You can avoid most of them by claiming 2 exceptions on your W-4 when you are hired since you probably won't meet the threshold working part time at 16.


InspectorBudget
Withholding taxes from paychecks is something that will happen. You will need to complete a W-4 form before you start work, that will tell the employer how much to withhold.

If you earn relatively little, your taxes will be modest, maybe even nonexistant, and your parents can still claim you as a dependent.

If you earn a significant amount, it may be better to consider filing as an independent single. See a tax professional for this.


Jeff R
If you are a full time student, I understand that you may be exempt from taxation. However, anyone who earns money and is not in school must pay taxs. I am sure there are exceptions and you should call your local IRS office to find out more. Even if you do not have income, depending on the state where you live, it is a good habit to get into because you will be able to recieve any rebate and/or earned income tax credit.

Yes, and your parents will have to claim that income on their income taxes.
