Are you sure? I am trying to figure this out myself. The instructions for form 8615 includes taxable scholarship in the definition of unearned income. To me, that implies that if it is greater than $2200, then yes, it has to be on form 8615. Also, Turbotax is giving me an error indicating I need to complete form 8615. The only unearned income my son has is the scholarship. I have been googling and other tax info sites also say it is subject to the kiddie tax. I manually changed the 8615 form - changing the answer to the question about investment income greater than $2200 from yes to no, but that didn't help. The error came right back.
