If you are required to file Form 8615, you can't delete it.

 

Form 8615 must be filed for any child who meets all of the following conditions.

1. The child had more than $2,200 of unearned income.

2. The child is required to file a tax return.

3. The child either:

     a. Was under age 18 at the end of 2021,

     b. Was age 18 at the end of 2021 and didn’t have earned income that was more than half of the child's support,           or

     c. Was 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. 

4. At least one of the child's parents was alive at the end of 2021.

5. The child doesn’t file a joint return for 2021. For these rules, the term “child” includes a legally adopted child and a stepchild. These rules apply whether or not the child is a dependent. These rules don’t apply if neither of the child’s parents were living at the end of the year.
