Me and my spouse it filing tax jointly and our child is 18 still a full time student has a W-2 <1000 as income

 

1. In my Tax filing can I continue include her as a dependent?  

2. Does she need to file her own tax return?  Her total wages is < $1000 but has both Social Security Taxes and Medical Taxes with held in 2022.

 

Note: She is a on H4 Visa with EAD due to pending I485

 

Thank you

    No. She does not need to report her income unless she paid federal taxes and would like to receive a refund from those federal taxes.  Social Security Taxes and Medical Taxes withheld are separate taxes and are not refundable.

    You may wish to file a state return to receive back the refund.
