15 year old child has $7300 of unearned income. Included the income and tax from the parents 2023 return. Parents marginal rate is 35% and effective rate of 22.9%. The childs return is showing 10% marginal and 66.2% effective. This is wrong.

Work through the 8615 manually and see what is wrong. Good luck if there are qualified divs and capital gains - which may be part of the problem.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

The "effective" rate means nothing. If you are looking at that, that is likely your mistake.

What is the actual AMOUNT of tax?

Thanks for your response. The amount of tax is $4511 on taxable income of $6813 for the 15 year child's return.

LOL, okay, you are right, that is totally wrong (assuming that amount doesn't include any weird things like penalties or PTC repayment). 😂

As for what the problem is, unfortunately I'm not a PTO user so I can't really help you figure that out. I hope you can figure it out soon, or perhaps somebody else will stop by with some ideas.
