HOW TO DO SHARED POLICY PERCENTAGES?

Could someone please clarify if this would be correct?  Below is an example about what I am talking about.

 

ie:  Parent Form

 

 

Child's Form:

 

Does each box from the Parent/Child need to equal 100%?  Or do certain boxes on both returns need to be 100%?

For each category the total % between the 2 returns must be 100% ... your screenshot shows a correct combination. Play with the combinations on both returns to see what gets the best results for everyone combined.  It is possible for one return to take 100% and the other 0%.

is the child filing his/her own tax return?

Yes, they are filing their own tax return.
