Been Wondering?
Tax Director Tells
Who Pays on What
The many inquiries received by
this office indicates that there is
a misunderstanding regarding the
taxpayer status of dependent child
ren earning $600 or more, R. L.
Phinney, District Director of In
ternal Revenue Service in Austin
has announced.
A child earning $600 or more
qualifies as a taxpayer and must
file a return and pay tax due. This
is true whether the parent claims
the child as a dependent or not.
Parents are responsible for the tax
due from minors.
Parents may claim the depend
ency deduction for a child earning
$600 or more under certain condn
tions. The parents must furnish
more than half the support of the
child to qualify the child as a de
pendent. The child must be under
19 years of age, of if 19 or over
must meet the qualifications of a
student.
A student must attend a full
time school during at least 5
months of the calender year. Such
schools include only institutions
with a regular faculty and student
body and do not include correspon
dence school, night schools and
employed training schools.
For example, a child 21 attended
a college as a full-time student
during 1955 and earned $720 which
he used for school expenses. The
father spent $850 for the child’s
support.
The child is required to file an
income tax return and pay tax
on the above earnings. The father
can claim the child as a dependent
on his return since he contributed
over half to the child’s support.
A child earning less than $600
and who has had tax withheld
should file a return so that the tax
withheld may be refunded to him,
Phinney said
