We often get the question: "Does my child need to file a tax return to make a Roth IRA contribution?" The answer is "no". If their taxable income is below the threshold that would otherwise require them to file a tax return, they are not required to file a tax return just because a Roth IRA was funded in their name.
Luckily, you can make a Roth IRA contribution without filing a tax return and do not need to file a tax return to make a Roth IRA contribution. (year 2020)
