1. Either the child files or the parent files the income.
2. I am adding $173 dividends + $2380 capital gains =$2,553 which is less than $2,600 required to file form 8615.
The parents return would file with Form 8814 instead. See Topic No. 553 Tax on a Child's Investment and Other Unearned Income (Kiddie Tax).
