The IRS is very clear about reporting Alaska Permanent Fund Dividends (PFDs). However, a child must meet the filing requirements for a dependent before they are required to file.  If their only income is unearned income and it is below $1,100 for 2020, then they are not required to file and you do not have to report the dividends on your return.  See IRS Publication 501, page 3 and 4.
