Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Okay, the wizard is taking the wrong path when you select TCJA rules.
I did a workaround for this problem where I selected pre-TCJA rules for both children, and filled out all of the information up to the point where it asks about other children.
At that point the Child’s 8615 Worksheet has been added to the project, and completed. This is the worksheet that has the information that you need on it.
You can print out that single form for each child using the print functionality, and then restart the child income wizard section for each child.
This time you pick TCJA rules, and complete all of the questions, using the information on the forms that you just printed out.
At this point you’re done. I don’t believe that it uses any of the information in those questions to compute the taxes, it uses the “Line 7” worksheet information that uses “trust and estate” rules that it has already generated behind the scenes.
Hopefully this helps anyone that has this same issue.
