1099 Earnings for a dependant child
In the Pro-Series software, where do I post 1099-Misc income for a client's child's earnings?

On the Child's Tax Return if required
That would depend on what the 1099-Misc was for.
Rents, Royalties, other income, fishing boat proceeds, nonemployee comp, direct sales, crop ins, golden parachute, attorney payments , etc, etc, etc. ?????????
Is that kid a lawyer or selling avon or something
The $2400 is for non-employee compensation he earned during the summer of 2009. Is it a requirement that he files a separate return or can this be included in his mother's return?

raeb63,
What was the kid paid for? How old is the kid?
Not enough information.
Self employed, on Sch C'ez, on own return, as dependent filer, pays SE tax only, around $360.
Still dependent on parents return.
Mom's going to be Pizzed.
Sorry - not trying to cryptic - the child was 15 and he worked on a farm for the summer. However - upon further investigation - I will need to file a separate return for him because he also has $3175 in interest income.
Final question - his mom can still claim him as a dependent, correct? If she does, she can file HOH which gives her a huge tax advantage.
Thanks everyone - this forum helps me alot!



A kiddie tax is due and form 8814 is not appropriate.
The child files a tax return with Schedule C and Form 8815. When you fill in form 1099 MISC, you can link the income data to the Schedule C..

I would be very careful with Head of Household status as only one person in the household is providing more than 50% of the cost of the main home. Who else is living in the household such as a parent or friend and is that person providing more than 50% of the cost of keeping up the home.
