HI, My daughter had a job in 2023 and made income of 9k. She did not withhold any federal or state. We live in MD. I want to take her as my deduction, so my questions are:
Do I need to include her income in my 1040 if I take her as a dependent?
She read somewhere that she didn't have to file a tax return since she didn't make enough, is this correct?
Thanks
You can never include your daughter's income from working in your tax return, whether or not you claim her as a dependent. If she reports the income it has to go on her own tax return, not yours.
If the $9,000 is on a W-2, and that is her only income for the year, she does not have to file a tax return.
If the $9,000 is self-employment income, such as cash, non-payroll checks, or digital payments, or it's on a Form 1099-NEC, she is required to file a tax return. She will have to pay self-employment tax even if she doesn't have to pay any income tax.
VERY IMPORTANT: If she files her own tax return, make sure she checks the box that says someone can claim her as a dependent.
This answer is specific to the facts stated in the question, and may not apply to someone else whose details are not exactly the same.
