Taxpayer is 16 years of age on 2020 tax return and claimed as a dependent on her grandparents 2020 tax return. Taxpayer received taxable unemployment (after UCE exclusion) of $10,200 which is considered unearned income for Form 8615. Taxpayer is considered a ward of the state of Oregon and grandparent has guardianship. Because the unearned income is over $2,200, Form 8615 is generated by Proseries. Form 8615 requires the parents name, SSN and taxable income to be entered on the form. If the child has no contact with parents and can not obtain their SSN or tax information what do I enter to meet the information required? Can I use the grandparents name, SSN and taxable income instead since the grandparent has guardianship of the child and is claiming the child on their return?
