请教这里的CPA, 如果我女儿是我的dependent， 2016年收入少于$10,150， 需要file tax return

万能的投坛，

经过查找都是说大于 $10,150 or more 需要报税。自己阅读不踏实。是不是少于$10,150就根本不需要报税？

谢了！

 

If you can claim her as a dependent, she definitely has to file her own tax return. Even if you cannot claim her as a dependent, she has to file her own tax return if her gross income for the year was $10,150 or more.

Not everyone is required to file an income tax return each year. Generally, if your total income for the year doesn't exceed the standard deduction plus one exemption and you aren't a dependent to another taxpayer, then you don't need to file a federal tax return. The amount of income that you can earn before you are required to file a tax return also depends on the type of income, your age and your filing status.

if you are under age 65 and single, you must file a tax return if you earn $10,350 or more, which is the sum of the 2016 standard deduction for a single taxpayer plus one exemption.
