As Raif mentioned, If you are trying to include your child's Alaska PFD income on your return, make sure to enter the amount  both in the first field titled Ordinary Dividends and the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividends field. Otherwise, the form will error and tell you that you are not required to report the income for your child if you only put it in the Alaska field. 

 

Here are the steps:

 

  1. "Income" tab
  2. Scroll to "Less Common Income"
  3. "Show More"
  4. "Start/Revisit"  Child's Income"
  5. "Yes"
  6. "Yes"
  7. "Continue"
  8. "Edit" or "Add another child" as needed
  9. "Yes"
  10. "No" to Payments question
  11. "Yes"
  12. "Yes"
  13. Child's information
  14. Continue through to the "Child's Dividend" page
