State tax filing

I'm having a similar problem, however, my son (23 years) is filing as independent this year and we are not claiming him as a dependent.  I don't understand why it is forcing us to fill out info on 3800 about his parent's income.  Our info shows as married filling jointly.  If I fill out line 6 and 10 with our income, it shows he owes considerably more than he earned as income in 2019.

(His earned contracting income is only $2550) 

I don't understand why form 8615 is coming up on his return if he is independent.  Maybe it transferred from last year? How do I correct this?
