cred65 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Just had a young widow drop off her tax records that included SSA-1099 for each of three children with $17K in Box 5. Do I prepare a separate return for each child? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Only if it'll be taxable. If the children have other income, then do the SS test (1/2 SS + all other income > $$ based on filing status. You know that test and can look up the specifics.) If SS is the only income, it won't be taxable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I always do anyway (and don't charge), 'cuz it starts the SOL for the year. Takes me less than 5 minutes per; federal only and no e-file with no taxable income. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
