To add, the "Child's Unearned Income" section states that, "Now, we'll help you complete Form 8615, Tax for Certain Children Who Have Unearned Income." And, then it asks questions about my parents' filings.
This is correct. In this case, you are the "child" (because you are a full time student under age 24), and you will use form 8615 to calculate the correct tax. That form requires some information from your parents, to determine how much of the extra "kiddie" tax you will pay on your stipend, because your parents' income and taxes affect your taxes because you are a child under age 24 who is a full time student.
