Question

My daughter is a JR in HS. She earned 8860 last year. When I enter that into the MAGI section for dependent earning, it reduces my refund by over $1000. Why is that?

Daughter did NOT provide more than 1/2 of her own support last year.  
Daughter turned 17 in October.

You do not enter her earned income from wages or from self-employment on your tax return.  She can file her own tax return and indicate on her return that she can be claimed as a dependent.

 

If she did not have any unearned income, interest, divided or capital gains, in 2020 that you do not use Form 8615 for the Kiddie Tax.
