If your child has a job can you claim them on your income tax?

Yes as long as you and your child meet all of the rules for you to be able to claim your child as a qualified child dependent on your 1040 income tax return. You child will file the child's own 1040 income tax return and will have to make sure and check the box that says they can be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayers income tax return and the child will get the 3650 exemption on the child's own income tax return. The number of exemptions will be -0- zero WHEN the 1040 income tax return is completely correctly.

What is the minimum income requirement in order to file an income tax return individually and not as a dependent?

Everyone is allowed to file an individual tax return, whether they are a dependent or not. Even if you are a dependent, you are required to file your own tax return if you have sufficient income to require the filing of a tax return. There is one exception: If a child under 18 (24 if a fulltime student) has income ONLY from interest and dividends and has income under $9500 (in 2009), the parents may report the dividends and interest on Form 8814 instead of filing a return for the child if they wish. And even if you are not required to file a return, you are allowed to file a return, whether you are a dependent or not. You would want to file a return if you had tax withheld from your salary or from other payments or are eligible for a refundable tax credit. If you choose not to file, you will eventually forfeit your refund. With the one exception noted above, your parents (or whoever is claiming you as a dependent) are not allowed to claim your income or your refund on their tax return.

Yes as long as all of the rules are met by and the child to be your qualifying child dependent on your income tax return. Dependent not allowed a personal exemption. If you can claim an exemption for your dependent, the dependent cannot claim his or her own personal exemption on his or her own tax return. This is true even if you do not claim the dependent's exemption on your return or if the exemption will be reduced under the phaseout rule described under Phaseout of Exemptions, later. Make sure that the dependent indicates on the 1040 income tax return that him/her is using indicates this and cannot claim the 3650 exemption amount on the income tax return that is being filed.
