it is greater of (1) or (2), not $1250, usually is (2)

 (2) your earned income plus $400 (but the total can't be more than the basic standard deduction for your filing status).

pay attention:

(2) is your earned income plus $400, for example 12000+400=12600, but less than basic standard deduction for your filing status which is $13400

• 你這個或許是對的，但是一旦file，免征點隻有1250。孩子一般打工掙的錢都被扣稅，file還能拿回來一點 -wd6- ♀ (131 bytes) () 01/19/2024 postreply 11:15:33
