Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@taxdrama said "I am going to fill my parents' info in the Child's Income section."
Let us know how that works out for you.
It now appears, to me, that I was partially wrong, earlier. That section is used by either the parents of such a student or the student himself. I just tried it on my desktop Deluxe, both ways. TurboTax (TT) recognizes which type taxpayer you are, from your personal info, and directs you to correct interview.
I think you still do not report this income in the "Less Common Income/ Child's Income (Under Age 24)" section of TurboTax. In that section, you report the information about your parents so that TT can calculate the tax on form 8615. You still have to enter the income in some other section. This section is also used by some parents (not in your case) to report a child's unearned income on the parents return (form 8814 is used instead of 8615).
