State tax filing
Thank you for your response. After I wrote that question I continued to research the issue. I found what appears to be a discrepancy in the Turbo Tax software and I think this is part of what is being pointed out above by mountainman907. Turbo Tax is saying (in below picture) that a childs 2020 PFD needs to be reported.
If I follow the directions (below) it asks "Is your child required to file a return for 2020?" I click "No" because they're not required to file a return as this ($992 dividend) is their only income and is less than the $1,100 threshold. After clicking "No" the next page says, "Since your child is not required to file a return, we wont report his or her income on your return."
If I follow the directions (below) it asks "Is your child required to file a return for 2020?" and I click "Yes" (even though the answer is "No") the end page says "Your childs income does not qualify to be included on your tax return."
So there is no way to use the provision to include my childs PFD income on my return since it is below the $1,100.
Question #1 Is the TurboTax page (link provided below picture) incorrect in stating "A child's Alaska PFD needs to be reported, even if it was their only source of income in 2020"?
Question #2 If the Turbo Tax page is correct and the income must be reported, how do I report it on my return or does the software need to be corrected to allow this?
