Max Taxable Income Before Reporting Taxes: IRS Help Needed

In summary, the maximum income before having to report taxes is $600. If you pay your children for office work, they can only make $599 before receiving a 1099 form. This also applies to babysitters while doing shows. According to the IRS website, if your child is under 18 and earns less than $3300, they do not need to file taxes. However, if they earn more than $600, they must file taxes. If claimed as a dependent, their wages do not need to be reported.

Im not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes. What is the max we can make before having to report taxes? I have already sent mine in, but my daughter baby sits and we now have to send in her taxes. Is there a link to the IRS I can go to look.

yea thats what I thought too, but good grief
 
How old is your daughter? Maybe I just don't know crap about taxes but I never filed before I actually received a pay check...
 
It is $600 income before having to file with the IRS.
Also, I do know that if you pay your children to do office work for you, they can make only $599 before you have to give them a 1099 form. This goes for sitters you use while doing shows as well.

If I paid her for working for me she could earn $3300, but she was baby sitting for the lady down the street. I did her taxes again without a W-2 and it worked out she owes nothing but she gets nothing either. Had I done hers with ours (as a dependent) we wouldn't have had to claim her wages at all. So in the end it worked out. Thanks for all your help. She will be 18 for next years taxes so this is good to know.
