Hello -

I filed my 2024 return as head of household. While inputting information I was asked for my dependents income. At the time I thought it was less than $5K however the dependent had another W2 so the income was $12K. I live in CA and also filed a state return. Do I need to amend my return and how do I amend the return to show dependents actual income. The dependent filed a return as well and stated dependent was claimed on another's return.

Thanks!

MY DEPENDENT HAD A JOB

If your dependent has a W-2 for his after-school job, summer job, etc. you do not include the information on your own return. You can still claim your child as a dependent on your own return. He/she can file his own return for a refund of some of his withheld wages from boxes 2 or 17 (he won’t get back anything for Social Security or Medicare), but MUST indicate on it that he can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. (Supervise this closely or prepare it for him!)
