You have been helping me with this return already.
My granddaughter has an athletic scholarship and must file a return. The tax on her income is about $800 from the tax tables. TT is reckoning her tax based on her father's income and shows her tax burden to be almost twice as much. This is something to do with her being claimed as a dependent on her father's return.
Form 8615 is the culprit (tax for certain children who have unearned income). I looked up a definition of unearned which said it referred to stocks and bond income, neither she or her father have any. If I delete this form, TT computes the right amount of tax but the form shows up in the list of forms as undone.
The tax benefit her father gets for claiming her is in his state tax.
I know I can take her off as a dependent but please advise of the right way to input it.
