How/ where would I add income for a child? I received a 1099INT and it says to claim it as income for my child but I can’t seem to find where I input the information

Please follow the directions below to enter your child's 1099-INT:

  1. Log in and open your return. 
  2. Type child income into the search box and select the Jump to link.
  3. Answer the interview questions to ensure that you are required to report this income.

Note: If the child's income is $12,200 or more, it must be on the child's tax return. It can't be included on the parents' tax return.
