Looking for help! Have come across several instances already of student 19-23 with unemployment benefits being subject to kiddie tax because of the CARES Act laws. I understand that IRS says it is considered unearned income for 8615. Question I have , does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not parents can elect to claim the U/E on their own return as they can with interest and dividend income? After all it is all unearned income. If so how would federal and state withholding from the U/E statement be handled? Parent has no taxable income after deductions and child tax credits. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Thank you!
