Where do I put capital gains for a dependent whom I can include on my taxes. She is a student and had short term capital gains in 2019. Do I put it on the schedule D?

It depends on the amount.

If your child's only income is unearned and doesn't exceed $1,050, it doesn't need to be reported. Capital gain from investments is unearned.

If your child's unearned income is $10,500 or more, he or she will need to file their own return.
