Everyone else has answered the federal question but states
vary. In NC the "magic" number is $500 if all the child's
income is unearned.

Children can have up to $750 in investment income before
having to file. That income is tax free.

As long as they only have investment income, and it is less
than $750, they don't have to file a return.

No and no. A dependent child need not file a return for
income under $750.

Default children's income

My children's investments are mostly in tax-protected 529's.
They do have small stock holding with dividend income for
each of $35. Do they need to file returns (or be included in
mine?).

Thanks in advance,
Ken
