Right, the problem with Turbo Tax 8615 as I see it is:
3. The child was either:
- A full-time student at least age 19 and under age 24 at the end of 2021 and didn't have earned income that was more than half of the child's support.
This question is never asked during the interview. Turbo Tax appears to generate the 8615 based on the dependency test which is is similar but not the same. When you tell TT you are a dependent and have unearned income, it automatically makes you do the 8615.
The case is that the filer is a dependent as determined in the worksheet for support . Even though they had earned income more than half of their support, they did not use that earned income.
However for the purpose of 8615, they did have earned income more than half their support. For that test, you dont actually have to use it.
