by: BB

Filing taxes while working and drawing Social Security benefits requires careful consideration. You can file your taxes as you normally would, but a portion of your Social Security income might be taxable based on your overall income.

To ensure correct deductions, consider consulting with a tax professional or using tax software that accounts for Social Security income.

starstarstarstarstar 		Does Grandma Need To File
by: BB

If your grandmother's only income is her Social Security check and it falls below the IRS filing threshold, she may not be required to file income taxes. However, it's advisable to check the specific tax rules and thresholds each year, as they can change. If in doubt, consulting with a tax professional can provide accurate guidance based on the most current regulations.

New Born Baby to 18 Year Old at Home

by Mike
(Kenton, TN)

I have a daughter that has given birth one day before her 18th birthday in Dec. 09. She has never worked and got a W2. Can she file an income tax form for just herself and her baby. I know we can claim her and the baby on ours but she thinks she is better off and get help from the government.

Hello Mike,

Great question.

If your daughter and newborn are living with you and her earned income is less than $3,500.00 and you provide more than half of their support, then you can claim your daughter and her newborn as dependents on your tax return.
