Does a taxpayer have to file if they make $3600 and someone else is claiming them?

[TaxGuyBill · Accepted solution]

Maybe.

What type of income is it?  W-2?  Self employment?  "Unearned" income?

[TAXOH]

I am so tired I am just thinking W2
  Excellent questions.

Which leads me to the question - would a self employed drug dealer qualify for the section 199A deduction ?  :confounded:

[TaxGuyBill]

Sure, but would that be SSTB in the "health" field?

[IRonMaN]

That was going to be part b of the question.

She is a parent with a w-2.  Her child is claiming her.

[IRonMaN]

No need to file unless there is withholding to be refunded

[TAXOH]

No they would not have a filing requirement.

Thank you
