I must not have been paying attention...
I am preparing a tax return for the parents and included the child's investment income (mostly qualified dividends and capital gains) on the parent's return using Form 8814. It was approx. $5,000. The parent's Fed tax went up $600 due to the Form 8814.
The parent's e-mailed and said the daughter received a W-2 and will send it to me. So, I remove the 8814 and work up the child's tax return - still waiting for the W-2. I have the child as a dependent and have done the Form 8615. The child's Fed tax is only $50. It appears she gets the first $4,750 at the 0% tax rate.
Is that correct?
