Our 2 daughters have unearned income requiring them to file returns, one requiring Form 8615. In Turbo Tax. Do I create Form 8615 from my return or my dependents return?

When I attempt to go through the interview process from my daughter's Turbo Tax return, it does not generate the Form. I assume there must be a way to do it from the parents return and then import it into my daughter's return but I cannot find information about how to do that.

The form 8615 is part of your dependents return, not yours.  To get the form ( since you are on Windows machine ), while in federal portion, click on forms and from drop down list select federal and then look for the form on the list and  choose open ---- this will put in the form on your  forms used list

The form and instructions for the form are here  -->  https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-8615
