Form 8615 is to report Tax for certain children who have unearned income.

Who must file the form?

For 2020, a child must file Form 8615 if all of the following conditions apply:

  • The child has more than $2,200 in unearned income
  • The child is required to file a tax return
  • The child does not file a joint tax return with a spouse
  • At least one of the child's parents is alive
  • The child is within certain age limits

For tax purposes, the child's "age" is the age on December 31. The child must file the form if any of these conditions apply:

  • The child is under 18 at the end of the year
  • The child is 18 years old and does not have earned income that is more than half of the child's support for the year, or
  • The child was a full-time student age 19-23 and does not have earned income that is more than half of the child's support

If you do not need form 8615, you'll have to delete it from your tax return.

 

To delete it, please follow these steps:

  • Open your return
  • In the left-hand column, select Tax Tools, then click on Tools
  • On the Tools Center page, click on Delete a form
  • Locate the Form 8615 and click Delete next to it.
  • On the next screen, click Delete Form
