Hello @Hal_Al , We are in the same situation with an undergraduate child receiving income from a summer research fellowship on a 1099-MISC. I followed these steps and it correctly allocated the income to line 8r of Schedule 1, instead of the dreaded line 8z. Thanks for the helpful advice.
One twist for us is that the income was received from a DIFFERENT university from the one she attends as an undergraduate, and it's in a different state too. Furthermore, she has a 1098-T from her primary university (and a 1099-Q). Normally we don't enter those. Do we need to enter either or both of those to use this technique?
