Questions about income impact
on Benefits & Taxes
Individuals selected to work for Project CREATE Summer Paid Experience have the potential to earn a maximum of $960 in gross pay (before tax deductions), if they work the entire 80 hours.
TAXES: Unless the taxpayer is on the verge of the next tax bracket, the income amount earned by their child should have no impact on their taxes. We recommend a quick conversation with a tax preparer or research on the IRS website to gain the answers they need. Project CREATE is not authorized to determine how the amount earned will impact intern’s taxes.
BENEFITS: Project CREATE recommends parents with questions to speak with someone involved with the agency from which they receive the benefits in question. For example, a person receiving SSI could work a part-time job if the income earned does not exceed a certain amount set by the Social Security Administration each year. To determine what that amount is – a parent would need to contact their local Social Security Administration office or seek that information on their official website.
