Can a 16 year old file income tax?

A sixteen year old can file income tax and, if the 16 year old had sufficient income, the 16 year old must file tax. There are no upper or lower age limits on income tax obligations. Even if the 16 year old didn't owe any tax, if taxes were withheld from the 16 year old's wages, the 16 year old should file in order to receive a refund.


How should a 16 year old complete a w 4 for taxes?

It depends on how much the 16 year old will earn from the job, how many jobs the 16 year old has, what other sources of income and deductions the 16 year old has and so on. The rules aren't really different from how anyone under 65 would complete it. I suggest you use the IRS calculator: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96196,00.html


Can you still claim your 16 year old that is working full time on your taxes or do they claim themselves?

You generally can claim your minor children as dependents because they usually aren't providing more than half of their own support. When you look at support for a person, consider all expenses paid for them, such as housing, food, transportation, etc. Only if the minor child is providing more than half of their own support do you lose their exemption. Any money the child puts into a savings account does not go towards their own support and is basically taken out of the mix. See IRS Publication 501. Example: Julie is 17 and made $8,000 this year, mostly in the summer. She's saving most of her money and put $5,000 in a savings account. Julie has paid $3,000 towards her own support. As long as her parents have paid more than $3,000 towards her support, she is their dependent. If Julie didn't put any money in savings, then her parents would have to pay more than $8,000 towards her support to claim her as a dependent.

It is not recommended for a 16-year-old to claim exemption on a W-4 form as they likely do not meet the criteria to be exempt from federal income tax withholding. They should check with a tax professional or their employer for guidance on how to properly fill out their tax forms.
