How does a minor make a Google adsense legally? Does Google adsense take tax out of your check or do they take it out of the payee’s bank account?
If you are in the US, Google will tax your income if you have received more than $600 in your account
You cannot sign up as a minor with Adsense. A parent has to sign up for you, and they need to give their tax ID number. If your parent is a US citizen & you make over $600 in one year Google will automatically send them a 1099 form & the IRS stating the earnings.

I don’t know fir sure, but I assume their terms require at least 18 year olds, it’s best to get a guardian to help with your banking and hopefully setup adsense in their name too (on good terms?)
Typically these payment have to be reported to the IRS only when they exceed $500?, although you are supposed to declare all income in you tax return. Minors with tiny incomes don’t have to file, but doing business in your parent’s name could effect their tax bracket.
