Assuming the student was under the age of 24 on 12/31/2018, there is no IRS income threshold. Therefore, the student doesn't need a certain amount of income to file as nondependent. The student must be able to prove that he or she provided more than half of his/her own support for the year. You can view the items that the IRS counts in determining support in the Worksheet for Determining Support (screenshot) below.
