The Kiddie Tax (Form 8615) applies, if the child:
- has unearned income exceeding $2,600
- is required to file a return
- isn’t filing jointly
- is under age 18 (or under age 24 if a full-time student) as of January 1, 2025
The Kiddie Tax only applies to unearned income in excess of $2,600.
- $0 - $1,300 isn't taxed.
- $1,301 - $2,600 is taxed at the child’s tax rate.
- Over $2,600 is taxed at the parents’ marginal tax rate.
If it doesn't apply, you can delete the Form.
