If you are under 24 and a student, it probably changed it because it was taxed using the kiddie tax rules. If you are subject to the kiddie tax, then this income will be taxed even if you are under the $12,000 deduction.
Use Form 8615.pdf, Tax for Certain Children Who Have Unearned Income to figure your tax on unearned income over $2,100 if you're under age 18, and in certain situations if you're older (see below). Attach Form 8615 to your tax return if all of the following conditions are met.
