Filing a 1040 for a dependent child with unearned income of $1600, less standard deduction of $1350 results in taxable income of $250. Yet, Turbo tax says Federal tax liability is "0". Since $250 of taxable income is subject to 10% tax rate, why is turbo tax not showing a tax liability of $25?? Any help would be appreciated.

If the unearned income is qualified dividends or capital gains it would not be taxed at their income level.
Thank you. With the exception of about $400, non qualified dividends, the remaining $1200 is capital gains and qualified dividends. I trust since the majority is cap gain and qual div, the result is no tax liability. Appreciate your prompt response.
