Can a 13 year old get a job?

Question

This girl I'm talking to keeps insisting that she is 13 and has a really good job with a good company and she pays taxes. Later some other girl said it was possible if the parents write off the the kids taxes as their own. I was just wonder if this is possible or if she is just lying.

Answer 1

13 year olds can have jobs. some of my mates do, but there 14.

Answer 2

It is illegal for a person under 16 to have a job, no exceptions.

Answer 3

You can babysit, work on a farm, work in a family owned business, and volunteer at 13. You can't really have a great job, but you can 'have one.'

Answer 4

No person under the age of 16 (?) can have a govrnment job and pay taxes.

She's talking bullsh!t.

Answer 5

She can earn

by Information

Technologies

Answer 6

she can get a job if she has a workers permit but chances are she is lying becaus not many companies will hire a 13 year old

Answer 7

She's lying. You can't get a "real" job until you're 14 in my state. She could be babysitting or doing something else for individual people to earn money, but she wouldn't be paying taxes yet.

Any company that hired her would get into major trouble.

Answer 8

shes lying unless she started the company because you have to be 15 with a work permit to get a job or its child labor and if she did get a job since its child labor it would be under the table meaning you dont have to pay taxes because it illegal there lying the only taxes your parents file for you are your tax refund that you get if you have kids so either the company she work at is owned by kids or shes lying

Answer 9

no its not possible, you must be at least 16 to get a workers permit, anything under the age of 16 is illegal unless its voluntary work, for charities and such and that needs a parents consent but it is not paid.  she may be doing it illegally which means shes lying about the taxes, but no its not possible for her to have a [legal] job at 13 and file taxes.. goodluck

Answer 10

Only if she lies about her age to her employer,

or if she is an illegal immigrant working for a large meat=packing company.

Answer 11

it depends on states. im 14 and have a job but ive never heard of anyone whos 13 having one...

Answer 12

It's not illegal, despite what the first person said. You can get a work permit at 15 which PERMITS you to get a job. I worked with 15 yr olds that had them. I do not think you can pay taxes because NO 13 year old is going to make enough to pay taxes, you have to make a certain amount. She's just lying. At 13 though, I do not think you can Legally get a job, unless you are a babysitter
