Teen Babysitter Taxes

[SquirrellyMama]

Can I ask a question for my 13 year old daughter? She babysat last year for a family at their home. She made $688. Does she need to file taxes? I've been searching around and come up with conflicting info.

Thanks,

Kelly

No, she didn't make enough. I thought the cutoff was $3000 but Tom told me it was actually $6000.
