Turbotax 2017 imported both my children from my 2016 return. Neither of my children now qualify as dependents for 2017 tax year. When I go to e-file my return, Turbotax 2017 is requiring me to fill
out form 8814, Parents election to report Child's Interest and Dividends!!! Both of my children no longer meet several of the requirements at
the top of the form:
Requirement 1: They are not under the age of 24 and no longer in college.
Requirement 4: Both my children had employment income.
Requirement 5: Both my children had gross income above $10,050.
Requirement 7: Both my children had federal income tax withheld where they work.
I have tried deleting both of my children as dependents from my federal return since they no longer qualify as dependents. However, Turbotax 2017 is still requiring me to fill out form 8814 and will not transmit my federal or state returns until I do. Please tell me how to proceed. Thank you.
