One common question asked during tax season is whether or not a college student with a part-time job, who can still be claimed as a dependent, can claim a personal exemption when filing his or her own tax return?
The answer is no. Your son or daughter’s tax return should have the box checked stating someone else can claim him or her as a dependent, which allows the return to be filed without claiming a personal exemption.
