I found the Form 1098-T worksheet in the "Forms" mode and was able to enter Block 1 (0) and Block 5 (2450) , as originally suggested. I linked the 1098-T worksheet to the Student worksheet, which carried the 2450 to line 1- Form 1040 with SCH. This provided the proper result for earned income and the standard deduction, and as suggested resulted in no Kiddie tax.
The only thing that did not appear to flow properly is that I had to override Part 1 line 1 of the Form 8615 to include the 2450 in unearned income; otherwise the return would not have included the Form 8615.
