Kiddie Tax 2024

Confident young asian businesswoman working in office with laptop and graph papers to save, analyse, calculate, income, turnover, taxes. Partnership in real estate business at desk in office.

If your child has investment or other unearned income above a certain threshold, that income may be subject to the kiddie tax.


For 2024, the first $1,300 of a child’s unearned income is tax-free. The next $1,300 of unearned income is taxed at your child’s tax rate. Any additional earnings above the $2,600 threshold are taxed at the child’s or parents’ tax rate, whichever is greater.


What Qualifies as Unearned Income?
A child’s unearned income may include:
  • Taxable interest

  • Dividends

  • Capital gains

  • Taxable scholarships

  • Income produced by gifts from grandparents

  • Income from custodial accounts


Exceptions
The kiddie tax does not apply to children who spend their own earned income for more than half the cost of their support. Children who are married and file a joint return are also not subject to the tax. Your tax professional can provide more information.
