What is the tax bracket for a 17 year old?

In the United States, a 17-year-old is typically considered a dependent for tax purposes if they are living with their parents and meeting certain criteria. For the 2023 tax year, the standard deduction for dependents is limited to the greater of $1,250 or their earned income plus $400, up to the standard deduction amount for single filers (which is $13,850). Consequently, a 17-year-old with income might fall into the 10% tax bracket for earnings up to $11,000, depending on their total income. However, if their income exceeds certain thresholds, they could be subject to higher tax rates.


Can you claim an exemption for your working 17 year old?

Yes, you can claim an exemption for your working 17-year-old as a dependent on your tax return, provided they meet certain criteria. They must be your child, live with you for more than half the year, and not provide more than half of their own support. Additionally, they should not have filed a joint tax return unless it's solely to claim a refund of withheld taxes. Always consult the latest IRS guidelines or a tax professional for specific eligibility details.


Who should claim the tuition expenses for a 17-year-old who is filing Single and being claimed as a dependent on the parents' tax return?

If your parents are claiming you as a dependent, then they're the only ones who can claim a deduction for tuition expenses. If they don't claim that deduction, then neither you nor anyone else can claim it because of your status as a dependent claimed on someone else's return.There are two options for deducting tuition expenses, and the person claiming the deduction should choose the one that gives the lower tax. One, Form 8917 (Tuition and Fees Deduction) is attached to your tax return (1040 or 1040A). The deduction on line 6 of Form 8917 is then entered on line 19 of the Adjusted Gross Income Section of 1040/1040A. Two, Form 8863 (Education Credits Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits) is attached to your return. The deduction is then entered on line 31 of 1040A or line 49 of 1040.

Why could a 17 yr old be considered an adult but be charged with a juvenile crime such as runaway?

The reason why a 17 year old can be considered an adult is because they are past the legal age of consent. That means that they can work, and if possible they can sign binding contracts depending on the state in which the 17 year old resides. However, if the 17 year old is still a dependent- parents or legal guardian- or if someone can still claim the 17 year old as a dependent, then the 17 year old can be charged with anything from being a runaway to juvenile delinquency. I say this because this is how Alabama state law operates for certain. Even though the 17 year old can legally drop out of high school, the 17 year old has to be emancipated to truly be considered an adult in America because it gives you the same legal independence as a 21 year old adult, this includes educational matters as well. Even an 18 year old college student has to show their parents taxes to complete the FAFSA and enroll in school, unless emancipated by the state in which they reside for the longest period of time, or atleast reside in closest to the period in question.

Can you get child tax credit for full time student?

Generally, no. You can only claim the Child Tax Credit for a dependent who is under the age of 17 (on December 31 of the tax year in question). You can still take a standard exemption for a dependent who is a full time student as long as they are under the age of 24 and meet the other requirements to be claimed as a dependent.
