Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Please help me understand this,  because form 8615 comes up for this. And you say to "Keep in mind, it doesn't matter where the money comes from to support a person - it just has to be yours. It can be taxable or nontaxable income like social security. You don't have to be working in order to support someone."

 

Turbotax asks "did you support yourself with earned income for 2020?" 

 

If I say no the form comes up, if I say yes the form goes away. I had a savings and 4k in w2 income and 15k in unemployment. But because my unemployment is more than the earned I chose 'no' and it prompts the form. How can I even choose 'yes' to that question if I had significant unearned income despite it being my own? Because I'm under 24 it prompts the form. If I was 24 (or not a full time student) or had substantial earned income I wouldn't need to fill it out.

 

And the sad thing is there are other people in my exact situation too.
