If you are an unmarried dependent, you must file a tax return if your earned and/or unearned income exceeds certain limits.

  • To find these limits refer to Filing Requirements for Dependents in Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information.
  • Even if you do not have to file, you should file a federal income tax return to get money back if any of the following apply:
  1. You had income tax withheld from your pay.
  2. You qualify for the earned income credit.
  3. You qualify for the additional child tax credit.

Refer to Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information for an explanation of the five exemption tests and filing requirement rules.

If I Claim My Daughter As A Dependent Because She Is A Full-time College Student, Can She Claim Herself As A Dependent When She Files Her Return?

No. If you can claim your daughter as a dependent on your income tax return, she cannot claim herself on her income tax return.

You cannot claim a personal exemption. In this case, your daughter should check the box on her return indicating that someone else can claim her as a dependent.
