Children and income tax?

Children are not exempt from income tax. If they are old enough to receive income (whether that income is from work, investments, UGMA/UTMA accounts, interest, royalties, or whatever), then they are old enough to pay taxes. You cannot include your child's income on your tax return (except in one special case, see Form 8814). If the child is required to file a tax return or needs to claim a refund, a separate return must be filed for the child. If the child is not old enough to do it themselves, the parents can fill it out for them.
