Custodial Parent's Income

I am filling out a return for my son, 15.

Where in TT the app for a Mac desktop would one put the custodial parent's income?

Because I didn't have mom's income figures when I started our son's return, I put in a guess when going through TT, but now I cannot find the place to go back and put in the exact amount.

Please explain what exactly you are trying to do.  Why are you entering the custodial parent's income?  Where is it asking you for that?

 

Do you mean you are completing a return for income received by the child?    What income did your 15 year old child have?    Does he have a W-2?

Our has to take an RMD each year from an IRA that he inherited.

As part of doing his return, I got asked what his custodial parent's income (mom) is. I put in a guess figure at the time.

But now I can't remember where in the app that question was, so I can now put in the corrected figure.

Thanks.
