    Filing requirment for a dependent in 2018

    I can not find this information anywhere, maybe it is too soon after the latest Act was passed?
    Single dependent, age 10, has unearned income of $550, so, not yet....
    but at what amount of earned income does the child need to file? at the standard deduction of $12,000?

      Sorry about the previous response you received. I've not seen anything to indicate that the filing requirement of earned income would be anything other than 12K.
