Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The wording may be confusing for you, but the intent is that you are independent and not a dependent of another person. You would not be a dependent of another person based on the amount of income you had from your own sources (earned and unearned). An exception to that is if most of your money went into a savings account (and was not removed) which would show you did not spend that money on your own support.
Only then could someone else claim you as a dependent. If you are independent then you should respond 'yes' to the question when asked and the Form 8615 should not be present in your return if you are not a dependent on another tax return.
