LadyR Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 My dd (19-years-old) started her first part-time job at a restaurant a few months ago and recently received her W2. She has earned only about $1,000 or so for 2012. Does she need to file a tax return? And if she doesn't need to, should she anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were any taxes withheld? if so, she should file to get that money back! If not, since she is your dependent, the way I'm reading things she does not need to file until she has earned income of $5,800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
