@Bsch4477 I understand what you are saying that she doesn't have to be a dependent. And she isn't emancipated.
However, the question is whether or not her earned income provided more than half of her support. It did.
It happens that her unearned unemployment compensation was greater than her earned income, but nevertheless her earned income provided more than half of any support she received.
So now I'm thinking she should check "Yes, I provided over half my support with earned income." and form 8615 will not be required.
Thank you.
