They won't. You see, IRS has (closely guarded) threshold amounts for
sending exception letters, amounts at which we may only guess at.

Not true 40 years ago maybe, but in the interim someone took Accounting
101 and learned about "materiality".

Probably. The IRS might send a letter for not declaring income, but I
doubt they would.

And since 14$ is well under the $900 floor, there's no need to file
anything.

Use form 8814 to report the child's income on your return. It's easy
to fill in this form, and you'll report the income but there is an
exemption of $900, so there will be no tax.

The child can also file their own return, but they have to also attach
a form in the 8000's to say they are a dependent but are filing their
own tax return, and some of their income will be taxed at higher
rates, though the tax would be zero in this case. So in your case,
the above method is just fine. Simpler.

Yes. See line 30 of form 1040.

Default 1009-INT questions

I'm filing a 1040.

1) I received a 1099-INT in the amount of $14 for my minor child, who
I am claiming as a dependent. Where do I need to this income?

2) In my 1099-INT, I had interest income and I had an early withdrawl
penalty. Does the latter offset the former?

Thanks,
G
