If you're claimed as a dependent, you must file if your income is more than the standard deduction allowed for dependents: Your earned income is more than $12,200, which is the standard deduction for a single filer. Your unearned income (e.g. investment) is more than $1,050.
At any time, contact us here at eFile or call the IRS support line at 1-800-829-1040 and inform them of the situation.
The child must be: (a) under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), (b) under age 24 at the end of the year, a full- time student, and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled.
To prove: The IRS generally wants one or more documents that show the name of the child, the address you used on your tax return, AND the year that the audit is for.

The dependent's birth certificate, and if needed, the birth and marriage certificates of any individuals, including yourself, that prove the dependent is related to you. For an adopted dependent, send an adoption decree or proof the child was lawfully placed with you or someone related to you for legal adoption.
