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.

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.
