Form 8615
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out whether I need to fill out Form 8615 - i.e., am I subject to the kiddie tax, as user rjs explains here https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/if-turbotax-is-asking-for-your-parents-income-it-...
I am 20, and my earned income is less than my unearned income for 2021. However, I have been paying my living expenses with a college trust fund that is in my name- so I think it's not technically the support of my parents, although they were the ones who originally set it up. But the amount of money that I have used from that account for rent this year is definitely more than my earned income.
Should I fill out form 8615? When TurboTax asks me "did you support yourself in 2021? (supporting yourself means paying for more than half of your living expenses with earned income), "do I say no?
