Reporting your child’s dividend income is done in a different section of the program from where you would report your own interest or dividend income.
To get to the correct section, use these steps:
On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you can type in “child income” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will give you an option to “Jump to child income”
This will take you through a series of questions to be sure you are qualified to file Form 8814 – Parent’s Election to Report Child’s Interest and Dividends for your child’s income, and that you are electing to report it. You will see a screen to enter your child’s information, even though you already entered it in the Dependent’s section. Then there will be a series of questions and forms to fill in regarding the type and amounts of income your child received.
