Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Form 8814 is a tax form used by parents to report their child's income on their own tax return, allowing for certain types of income earned by the child to be taxed at the parent's tax rate.
Parents who have a child under the age of 19 (or a full-time student under age 24) whose unearned income is more than a specified threshold and who wish to report that income on their own tax return must file Form 8814.
To fill out Form 8814, parents need to provide information about their child, including the child's name, Social Security number, and the total amount of the child's unearned income. They must also calculate and report the taxable income using the specific instructions provided with the form.
The purpose of Form 8814 is to allow parents to report their child's income in a way that may result in a lower tax rate for that income, as it gets taxed at the parent's tax rate instead of the child's potentially higher rate, which can be beneficial for families.
Form 8814 requires the reporting of the child's name, Social Security number, total unearned income, and any applicable deductions or credits, along with calculations that determine the tax owed on that income.
