I am sure I did not say this is self-employment income. I looked in the "forms" section and there is no Schedule C or Schedule SE. I wonder if there is an error in TurboTax? I called a TurboTax helper a bit ago today and was told that I should leave things as is. She told me that line 1 seems to be populating as per the instructions for IRS form 8615. Yet, she couldn't tell me why line 2b in the worksheet shows it as "EARNED income." (She kept saying that, since line 2a is 0, then naturally line 2b would the the full amount of $8900.) I tried to see what would happen if I manually change that line (line 2b) to 0 and my daughters tax liability jumps from $783 federal to $1614 federal (probably from the kiddie tax?). I am so confused...I thought this was going to be a fairly easy return. I am not sure what to do. I want to get it right.
