Hi Chris, just saw your message. Sorry could not reply before. I did not use Turbo tax to file my daughter's return. 8615 is colloquially known as the kiddie tax. There were changes made to the kiddie tax law which is very advantageous to ordinary taxpayers.
Most e-filing software does not have the latest changes for 8615 which enable you to calculate the child's tax based on the parent's income.
In my daughter's case taking advantage of the "kiddie tax" law changes made a huge difference. You have several options. Two of those are:
1. Download form 8615 and instructions manually fill it out and mail it. This is complicated but doable.
2. Find a CPA who has software with the latest "kiddie tax" changes.
You could also call turbo tax and see what they say, but I was not able to get a live person because they seem to be short staffed because the coronavirus.
