Did your child under 24 earn any income?

I need some help on this question. I am a full time student with a W-2 job and I do not have any children. I already triple checked to make sure I did not answer otherwise. However, it asks me this question, are they referring to me as the child?

I don't know if this matters but my parents are claiming me as a dependent.

when doing your tax return, "you" or "your" refers to you.

 

If you're preparing your parents' return for them, "you" refers to your parents.

 

Got it?

you're not the only one complaining about questions about children even though you are childless.

 

did you mark that someone can claim you ?
