Thanks for your reply! Part of the reason I was originally confused is that the TurboTax software doesn't seem to allow a distinction between this. Because I'm a dependent (not paying for my support), the software automatically seems to try to make me file form 8615. It doesn't seem to allow me the option to clarify that the earned income that I have does equal more than half of my support. I couldn't find a way to specify any parameters that would let me do my taxes without filing form 8615. Do you know if there's a way to get around this, while still being accurate about the fact that I can be claimed as a dependent and didn't actually provide more than half of my support?
