"Which lines are giving you trouble and what are all the sources of student income and amounts from each?"
Currently the parents info are missing. If I fill the parent info, as I have tried before, the parent filing status and income will be asked and my daughter's tax will be much higher. I don't think these are needed if from 8615 is not needed. So the question is what keeps triggering form 8615 to be filled?
Some background: My daughter is a full time college student,
Earned income is less than $14k, unearned income (1099-DIV) is around $300. I also skip filling 1099-Q since all distribution money was used for school and Turbo Tax does not allow box 2 (Earnings) and 3 (Basis) to be empty. I include my daughter as dependent.
