If you filed Form 8615 on your 2021 return, TurboTax carried the info to 2022.
You can delete the form if you are no longer a dependent.
You only have to file Form 8615 if you meet all of the following conditions:
- You had more than $2,300 of unearned income.
- You are required to file a tax return.
- You either:
- Were under age 18 at the end of 2022,
- Was age 18 at the end of 2022 and didn’t have earned income that was more than half of your support
- Was a full-time student at least age 19 and under age 24 at the end of 2022 and didn’t have earned income that was more than half of your support.
- At least one of your parents was alive at the end of 2022.
- You don’t have to file a joint return for 2022.
When you ask about “Launch Optimizer” if you entered tuition and are trying to claim a credit, your refund may have gone down if you told TurboTax that someone can claim you as a dependent.
Check your entry in My Info next to your name. On “Your Personal Info,” NO should be circled on the question Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return.
After confirming this, delete Form 8615 and try running the Optimizer again.
