My grandaughter is independent of her parents, yet TurboTax want's me to complete form 8615 as if they were supporting her.
The reason is because I am checking "No, my earned income provided less than half of my support."
I believe TurboTax is assuming that her parents provided her support. But the reason I checked the above is because her income from working was $5,000 but her unearned income from unemployment was $15,000.
So her unemployment provided the majority of her support, not her parents.
Should I simply check "Yes, I provided over half my support with earned income."?
That seems to work well, but is it correct?
Thank you, Grandfather Peter
