@SweetieJean Poster stated that his/her dependent has a W-2 for $6278. Although taxable scholarship is unearned income for purposes of the "Kiddie tax" (and some other tax stuff), it is considered earned income for purposes of the standard deduction. So the student-dependent's standard deduction is her earned income + $350. $11,895 + 350 = 12,245. Not quite the full $12,550, but close enough for government work. Her calculated income tax 0.
