8615 question

Yes, a taxable grant reported on a 1099-G for a child is generally considered to be unearned income. If his total unearned income is more than $2,700 he will be required to file a tax return and attach a Form 8615 (Kiddie Tax) to calculate the tax at your higher tax rate.

What's the Kiddie Tax?
