Form 8814, is it an option?

[beanhusky35]

My son has the following income, is under 24 and was a student in 2021.

1) W-2 with $1,151 in wages

2) Received unemployment of $12,470

3) 1099- Int of $36

4) Stock Gains of $12,297 (Long term $1542, Short Term $10,756)

Filled out Form 8615 and he is paying $3800.  I am wondering if he/I would meet 8814 criteria?

Thanks
