Hi i need help, on my sons return they went till the end and were talking about a 8960. what is that? I have health ins from my employer would that make him owe?

Form 8960, Net Investment Income Tax, is required when your Modified Gross Income (MAGI) is over a certain threshold, depending on your filing Status:

• Married Filing Joint or Qualifying Widow(er) Status: MAGI over $250,000
• Married file Separately: MAGI over $125,000
• Single and Head-of-Household: MAGI over $200,000

If your MAGI exceeds the threshold, you must file Form 8960 to pay a 3.8% Net Investment Tax on your Investment Income.

Check out this TurboTax FAQ for more information: What is Form 8960?

If this has not answered your question please comment below so I can assist you further.

Yea.... i certainly didn't have ANYthing like that so why would it pop up on my sons return when we're are verifying at then end of his info? That is so weird. I've tried to go back through and can't find anything like that on my printout.

But thanks everyone!
