Unearned income? Is a long term gain on the sale of a stock, of a 23 year old student dependent, considered unearned income applicable and allowable to the transfer to their parents income tax return?

But you can't report stock sales on the parents' return.  Form 8814 allows only interest and dividends, including capital gain distributions.
