She has to file, but you can still claim her as a dependent |

You may still claim her as a dependent, but when she files her own taxes, she must check the box that says, "Can someone claim you as a dependent?" And they will tax her at a different rate. You do not claim her income as yours. |

Boy there is a lot of wrong answers given to you. Your daugther has to file her own taxes for 2007 if her gross income is at least $8,750. If less, then you can claim her on your taxes. However, if she is on your taxes, then your daughter should still file, not claiming herself, so she could get some of her tax withholdings return to her. Do not forget state taxes either. |

If she made enough to have to file at all (over $5350), or if she had anything withheld for federal income tax and she wants to get it back, she will file her own return. She can almost certainly use the 1040EZ form - the EZ stands for easy, and it is. |

If she has no other income, she can earn up to $5350 without having to file. However, if she had any tax withheld, the only way to get it back is to file. |

She has to file seperately. You can still claim her on your taxes since you provide more than half her support. Likely she will get most of her taxes refunded as she didn't earn that much. |

she needs to file her own income but you can still list her as a dependent and you need to make sure she adds on hers that she is a dependent. |

When she worked and got paid, she paid her own taxes out of her paycheck, so she needs to file her own tax return. She should be able to use the 1040-EZ. |

you never add your daughters income from working to your taxes. you can elect to report any interest she earned - if its alot.
whether she has to file depends on how much she earned and whether you do
in-fact claim her. |

If she worked and made money in her own name, she pays her own taxes. Depending on the amount she made she can file the short form, but you can't do that for her. |

She earned; she files |

Depending on how much she made she might not have to file a tax form. Given her social security number will be on the W2 she will have to file her own tax and her tax bracket will most likely be significantly less than yours anway. |

You cannot add her income to your return. Depending upon how much she earned, she may not have to file. If any income tax was withheld, however, she will have to file to get the withholding back.
If she still qualifies as your dependent, you claim her on your return and she indicates on her return that she is being claimed. If she qualifies as your dependent, she CANNOT claim herself, even if you want to let her. It is not a choice the IRS lets you make.
It's a good learning experience for teenagers to prepare their own tax return. Just be sure to look it over for her before she mails it in. |

if she made under $3,000 (double check - the amount may have changed) then she doesn't even need to claim at all...otherwise she needs to file herself - you can just submit a 1040EZ...you can still claim her as a dependent but no you cannot claim her income because it was legally earned under her ss# |

You cannot add her income to yours. If her income meets the filing threshold, she must file a return in her name. If she had income tax withheld, she may get a refund. |

No you can't. If the only income was savings interest it could have been done. When she has a real job she must file herself.
If she made below the minimum required for filing and no money was withheld then she does not have to file at all.

She'll need to file her own return. (She can still be claimed as a dependent though.) |

My sister in law worked during the summer and after school and my mother in law still claimed her. She didnt add her income cuz my sister in law did her own also. so u can claim her and she can do her own taxes also. Just dont add her income. Claim her like you have done before. |

She will have to file if she made over the minimum requirememnt. No, you don't add her income to your but, you can claim her as a dependent. |

you still claim her as a dependant ,
but she also has to file and cannot claim herself as a dependant because you are
you may also claim her until she is out of school no matter her age |

She has to file, and you probably wouldn't want her to be taxed in your bracket anyway. |

It depends on how much she made...but guessing by her age and as long as she still lives in your home and you provide for more than 50% of her necessities, then you can put her on your return as a dependant. You'll still need her W-2 though. |

"probably better for her to file if she did not have much income small job few hours etc. she will not pay tax at all and she will get back all her withholding and get refund. (only if it appys) specially if she has kids living with her and she is supporting" |

she's a minor, so she doesn't file yet. You effeminately don't want to add her income to yours unless you want a painful audit. I'm an accountant by the way |

You have 2 options you can claim her as a dependant, or she can file seperately. |

If she worked mostly on weekends, she may not have made enough to pay tax, so she might as well file instread of you. Even if she worked full time, she will be in likely be in the lowest tax bracket, and will pay less taxes than you.
I filed at age 17 for the first time. |
