Best Answer

If the child is 18 or older, and is not in custodial care of the parent by the courts, they're legally an adult, and the parent has no legal right to lay claim to their tax returns.

On the child's Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. A separate tax return must be filed by the child (or for the child if the child is too young).
