This summer x wants 16 yo daughter to start working. If she makes $400 she has to claim taxes. So can I still claim her?

Don't really know. Call an accountant; they can answer that one for you.

yes you can claim her, your still her primary support. And it is good for a 16 y/o to have a summer job.

Yes, you can claim her. I claimed my daughter until this year. She's 20 and is living on her own now. She's been working since she turned 16. Her choice, and I agree with Loui, it's good for them to work.

She will actually get a lot of her taxes back when she files a return. It's a nice surprise for a 16 year old the following winter!

Yes, we're still claiming our daughter, who is now 18 and has a part-time job. Your daughter may not have to pay taxes on it, but she will still have to pay into Social Security etc. That is good, though, because she will start accumulating the quarters she needs to qualify for Social Security someday (assuming it still exists by then). I thought it was a terrific experience for my daughter to start working in the summer (and she continued it during the school year). She had to learn responsibility, how to deal with difficult people, etc.--and I was glad to have someone else telling her about being there on time, appropriate dress, and things like that!
