How much can a student child make before they file taxes?
Everyone who has federal or state tax withheld from their income (Form W-2, box 2 and 17) should at least fill out a return to see if they are owed a refund. If so, they should file to get their money back. Since most children who are students are their parent's dependent (claimed as a dependent on their parent's tax return), I'm going with that assumption. All dependents have the same filing requirements, whether a student or not. If a student makes less than the federal standard deduction, they generally don't have to file unless they want a refund of federal or state taxes withheld from their pay. The federal standard deduction for a single person changes every year and is $5,800 for 2011. There may also be a requirement to file if the dependent has a significant amount of investment income (over $950). See IRS Form 1040 instructions for filing requirements for children and other dependents for more details. Remember that your state may have different filing requirements, so a person may be required to file a state return even though they aren't required to file a federal return.
