Question

claiming scholarships

Forum|Forum|4 years ago

We have twins who just finished their first year of college. They both got scholarships and we got a 1098-T for both. The company my daughter worked for in 2019, gave her last paycheck to her in Jan 2020 so she has to report that income. It was $45.50. Anyway, I ran through both their taxes and federal is showing $0. Is that right? Then they both had to pay for state, which, I figured was correct. I am baffled on the federal. If it is $0, do we still file the taxes?

Not A Product Question

If the amount of taxable scholarship (or scholarships + wages) was less than $12,400, then the federal tax is 0 and a federal return does not need to b filed.
