What type of income does your child have? If it is income from a job, you will not add it to your return. Instead, you (or they) will need to file a return of their own.
If this is for income that is unearned such as investment income, and falls under the kiddie tax rules, and they have NO other earned income, then you can enter it on your return using form 8814 by selecting the following:
- Income
- Less common Income
- Start next to Child's income
- Walk through the steps to enter your child's unearned income.
* Please note some people may see different a different navigation in the program*
If they have income from a job and unearned income, then they will again need to file their own return.
