Does a dependent child have to file a tax return?

A question came in yesterday concerning when a dependent child must file a tax return. The short simplified answer is that if their income is over $400 reported on a 1099, or over $5,700 reported on a W-2, or if they had income tax withheld for which they want to claim a refund then they are required to file a return.

A little publicized change to the Arizona State Tax Code this year allows Private School Tuition Credit contributions to be made before April 15, 2011 and claimed as a credit on an individual’s 2010 income tax return. This applies to the Private School Tuition only and not to the Public School ECA credit.
