<p>D worked in 2 States last year.
One place sent her the W-2 showing Fed.taxes and state taxes that were with-held. (income $1200)
The second sent her a 1099 and nothing was withheld.(income $1200)
And then she has a small amount of dividend income.</p>
<p>Obviously all amounts are minimal, but how many different places/ways does she have to file? She is going to add the amounts on the W-2 and 1099 for her Federal return. What about State taxes? And can she do 1040EZ or 1040A with the dividend income?</p>
<p>Retired auditor here my only tax experience is with 990s for nonprofits…so take I’ll need backup, but…</p>
<p>Dividend income and other earnings on the 1040A. I believe the EZ only allows interest, but not dividends, to be reported (you’re sure it’s dividends right?)</p>
<p>State with income tax will require a state tax form. Each state is different. If you mention the name of the state in question, you’ll likely get a lot of advice from those who reside there.</p>
<p>The 1099 is from Illinois and the W-2 from New Jersey. </p>
<p>Since the Illinois employer did not withhold taxes, nor social security, medicare etc., she has to file federal taxes as a Self-employed person, plus do non-resident taxes in one state and part-year resident in another. </p>
<p>There will be 1040 forms and all sorts of schedules. This might be worse than my H and my taxes!!!</p>
<p>She was going to file her own taxes this year, which I think kids should if they are going out and earning they may as well learn how to get the tax money, but at this point I see me doing it. She offered me the Federal refund as the prize!!!</p>
<p>That is not even taxable income for your DD - it is below the amount allowed - but… in order to get any return of any taxes taken out - she would have to file fed/2 states - one as a resident - one as a non-resident. Is she still your dependant? do you still claim her?</p>
<p>Yes we still claim her, she is verrry much our dependant. Also because of the 1099, she is obliged to pay the social security etc. that was not withheld. She will get $112 (minus the SS/medicare) back from the Feds, and $23 from NJ. IL will be no refund/no owing, but has to be filed anyway.</p>
<p>good grief chocoholic…makes you want to ask the IRS to just keep the refund and let your d off the filing hook! </p>
<p>I’m embarrassed to say I don’t even file ours anymore…got too complicated with the new business. We have a tax attorney do it and he always throws ldgirl’s return in there for free. (I promise I can do a mean yellow book audit though.)</p>
