Is a dependent eligible for the unemployment exclusion or is it contingent on the parents' AGI?
Any taxpayer whose income is less than $150,000 is eligible for the first $10,200 of unemployment compensation to be excluded from income tax. There is no requirement that the taxpayer be "independent." This should have a major impact on children/dependents who are now being hit with the "Kiddie tax" on the unemployment. If you have not filed yet, I strongly suggest waiting until the forms are updated in Turbotax.
