Form 8615 Triggered by Other Misc Taxable Income

So I am trying to do my kids taxes and trying to pay taxes on what I paid them during the year of which taxes have not been paid.  My CPA did it with a Schedule 1, Schedule 2 and SE. 

 

When I try to create a Schedule 1 by going to

  • Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
  • Other Reportable Income
  • Create a new item

It then triggers the Form 8615 that I can't delete.  The item created is taxable income and it should be considered earned income so why is it triggering the Form 8615?

 

If I delete the line item for income, Form 8615 disappears as well but as soon as I create it, Form 8615 comes back.

 

How do I report earned taxable income on the Schedule 1 without triggering Form 8615?  I was able to file for the other child without that problem but cannot reproduce what I did.

 

That one created a schedule 1 but no schedule 2 and schedule SE. 

 

How do I file a 1040 with Schedule 1, Schedule 2 and Schedule SE for a minor?
