Hi,
My 17 year old(Currently added as dependent in my file and living with us) worked 2 Summer months in 2023 as well as was a full time student for 2023 and received Tuition and Enrollment certificate.
When filing taxes for the family including dependent(and declaring his income), the software asks to pay for the whole family including myself, spouse and dependent(3 separate charges). However, if I don’t add his income and Tuition receipts(as if the dependent didn’t work in 2023), the taxes are free for the family including the dependent.
1/How to deal with this situation? Do I need to file dependent’s taxes separately but putting Dependent’s net income(Net Income) in Interview setup without putting his T4/RL1 and Tuition receipts?
2/Also, in dependent Id it asks if the dependent has any income, so if I need to file dependent’s taxes separately, putting a Yes or No here won’t make any difference, right?
Please let me know the best solution.
Thanks,
