She has to file, but you can still claim her as a dependent

Boy there is a lot of wrong answers given to you. Your daugther has to file her own taxes for 2007 if her gross income is at least $8,750. If less, then you can claim her on your taxes. However, if she is on your taxes, then your daughter should still file, not claiming herself, so she could get some of her tax withholdings return to her. Do not forget state taxes either.

You cannot add her income to your return. Depending upon how much she earned, she may not have to file. If any income tax was withheld, however, she will have to file to get the withholding back.
If she still qualifies as your dependent, you claim her on your return and she indicates on her return that she is being claimed. If she qualifies as your dependent, she CANNOT claim herself, even if you want to let her. It is not a choice the IRS lets you make.
It's a good learning experience for teenagers to prepare their own tax return. Just be sure to look it over for her before she mails it in.

No you can't. If the only income was savings interest it could have been done. When she has a real job she must file herself.
If she made below the minimum required for filing and no money was withheld then she does not have to file at all.

Depending on how much she made she might not have to file a tax form. Given her social security number will be on the W2 she will have to file her own tax and her tax bracket will most likely be significantly less than yours anway.

You may still claim her as a dependent, but when she files her own taxes, she must check the box that says, "Can someone claim you as a dependent?" And they will tax her at a different rate. You do not claim her income as yours.

If she made enough to have to file at all (over $5350), or if she had anything withheld for federal income tax and she wants to get it back, she will file her own return. She can almost certainly use the 1040EZ form - the EZ stands for easy, and it is.

You cannot add her income to yours. If her income meets the filing threshold, she must file a return in her name. If she had income tax withheld, she may get a refund.

My sister in law worked during the summer and after school and my mother in law still claimed her. She didnt add her income cuz my sister in law did her own also. so u can claim her and she can do her own taxes also. Just dont add her income. Claim her like you have done before.

If she has no other income, she can earn up to $5350 without having to file. However, if she had any tax withheld, the only way to get it back is to file.
