@AmeliesUncle Thank you
<<But the point that the OP and I were making is that the child does NOT need to pay any support with that earned income. >>
yes, I agree as well.
<<The Kiddie Tax is merely comparing the amount of support with the amount of earned income, regardless of who actually pays the support.>>
I agree, and that is the way the worksheet works (lines 6-19), but from the OP's responses, I am not confident that the OP understands how "support costs" are defined. I'd just like to see the OP acknowledge with "Yes, I will complete the worksheet" to answer the questions I am asking."
thank you again!
