(Sorry to break it to you). But don\u2019t let taxes add to your teen angst. We\u2019ll break down the basics of taxes for teens, so you aren\u2019t overwhelmed come Tax Day.&nbsp; Understanding whether you need to file taxes depends on how much money you\u2019ve earned and the type of income you have. You might be wondering, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/staging.eztaxreturn.com\/blog\/do-i-have-to-file-taxes\/\">Do I have to file taxes<\/a>?\u201d The short answer is: if you\u2019ve earned over a certain amount or had taxes withheld from your paycheck, you\u2019re likely required to file, but it\u2019s always a good idea to double-check the rules for your specific situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what you need to know about teens and taxes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-teens-have-to-file-taxes\"><strong>Do Teens Have to File Taxes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The big question is: Do teens have to file taxes? In a word: maybe!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a teen with a seasonal or part-time job, you may be required to file your own tax return. Being a minor won\u2019t exempt you from paying taxes\u2013but whether you need to file a separate return as a teen depends on a few things:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dependency\"><strong>Dependency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dependents typically don\u2019t have to file separate tax returns unless their income exceeds a certain threshold.

However, there are some exceptions. Understanding what income you owe taxes on as a teen will help you prepare your tax return accurately the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Taxable income:<\/strong> Taxable income is any income that is subject to taxation. Most income falls under taxable income designation, including wages, commissions, tips, salaries, dividends, and self-employment income. This also includes income like babysitting money, side gigs, and money from a part-time or summer job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nontaxable income:<\/strong> Nontaxable income is income that is specifically exempted from taxation by law. This list is shorter, but the most relevant nontaxable income for teens includes gifts, inheritances, and qualified education income, such as scholarship or grant money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eztaxreturn.com\/resources\/tips-taxable-nontaxable.html?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=teensandtaxes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taxable Income vs. Nontaxable Income: Everything to Know<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that scholarship funds must be spent on qualifying education expenses (such as tuition or books) to remain nontaxable.
