Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It seems there is a threshold for income before i would have to file a tax return for my child.    I am looking at the "less common income" section --> more info.

The child's earned income was from a vaccine trial and she received a 1099-MISC for $925.00

It seems like the income would be "earned income" as opposed to "unearned income".  Since it is unearned income and the amount was <$12,550 I believe this says i do not need to file a tax return for her.  Total was $925 so even if it was unearned income it would be below that threshold.  

Am i interpreting this correctly that i do not need to file a tax return for my child?  I also do not need to report the income on my tax return?
