What about my child's Alaska PFD?

A child's Alaska PFD needs to be reported, even if it was their only source of income in 2024.

If your child's total income was exclusively unearned (meaning the Alaska PFD, plus interest, dividends, or capital gains distributions—no wages or other income earned by working) and was less than $13,000, you can either report their PFD on your return or your child can report it on their own return.

Otherwise, if your child's unearned income (including the Alaska PFD) is $13,000 or more, they must file their own return.  Please click on link below for "child's" directions.

TurboTax FAQ: Where do I enter my Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend?

Hi, can you elaborate on the specific steps behind "Go to Alaska fund" ?

For example, in the online TurboTax, one way to do this is to use the search (hourglass in upper right) to search for "alaska fund", and one of the search results says "Jump to alaska fund (Go to the alaska fund section of TurboTax)". Clicking on this takes you directly to the 1099-MISC area.

[BrittanyS]

4. Select who the dividend is for if you're filing jointly, then follow these steps:

Yes, that's the guidance already listed above. It's the "Go to Alaska fund" part that may be unclear for many searchers.

Go to Alaska fund appears to be a broken link from the TurboTax article here. Usually the help articles will give you a direct link for TurboTax Online so you can be brought directly to the correct page without having to navigate. 

As a workaround for TurboTax Online, you can go directly to this 1099-MISC link to enter your Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend.
