Finding out that a loved one is being accused of a crime is no easy situation to be in. You may worry about their safety as they sit behind bars and await trial. If you want to bring your family member or friend home from this difficult situation so they can prepare for the legal process in privacy, you should post bail. Attempting to post bail on your own can be confusing and stressful.

Individuals can incur a tax filing requirement at any age. A minor child who is required to file an income tax return is likely to need some level of assistance and guidance from an adult. Most minor children are included as a dependent on the tax return of a parent or guardian. However, the dependent may have earnings of their own. Because they can be claimed as a dependent on another tax return, the income threshold at which a dependent must file a return is lower than the regular filing threshold for nondependent individuals.
