Your spouse cannot file form 8814 and add his income to her return as one of the conditions for electing to file form 8814 is that: The child’s only income was from interest and dividends, including capital gain distributions and Alaska Permanent Fund dividends.
As this condition is not satisfied, form 8814 cannot be used.
