My parents could claim me as a dependent on their tax return but aren’t going to. I am a 21 year old student who graduated in December.

I shouldn’t need to fill out Form 8615 as my earned income was more than half of my support.

I didn’t provide half of my support, hence the dependent eligibility, but I did “have earned income that was

more than half of the child's (my) support.”

How do I tell TT that I don’t need this form?

My earned income is more than half of my support though, so it seems like it should not apply.

The Kiddie tax applies to unearned income. After the screen where you say someone can but won’t claim you it asks if you supported yourself. You answer No my earned income provided less than half my support In my test return that form didn’t come up.
