- Ricardo owns a small unincorporated business. His 15-year-old daughter Jane works in the business on a part-time basis and was paid wages of $3,000 during the current year. Who is taxed on the child's earnings: Jane or her father? Explain. C O A. Since Jane is under age 18 and has earned income, the $3,000 of wages are subject to the kiddie tax rules and are included on the parent's return. O B. Jane is taxed even if her father is the employer. Since Jane has earned income, the $3,000 of wages are not subject to the kiddie tax rules and are not included on the parent's return. This is true even though Jane is under age 18. O C. Since Jane has earned income and her father is her employer, both Jane and father are taxed on $1,500 each. This is true since Jane is under age 18 and she is employed by a family member. O D. Neither Jane nor her father are taxed on the $3,000, since Jane is under age 18 and this is earned income from a related party.arrow_forwardEnzo recently used his United SkyMiles to purchase a free round-trip ticket to Dublin, Ireland (value $1,500).
