Will she receive all federal and state taxes that she paid in?

Best answer by Hal_Al

We can't answer that without knowing her income, as well as her withholding and which state it is.

Ok I get it. So she will probably only get about half of what she paid in if that

Technically the rule for an 18 year is that she didn't provide 1/2 her own support; not that the parent did provide more than half the support. How much she made is actually not relevant.

yeah, that rule does read what I refer to as "backaxxwards". For a dependent in high school, it's awful close to six of one, half a dozen of the other.

The fedearl income tax on $24,000 of income for a single person not claiming her own exemption is $2200. So, not only will she not get any of the $1700 back; she will owe the IRS another $500. That assumes that all the $1700 was federal income tax and not social security or medicare tax. Claiming herself would only reduce that by $150.
