How do I create a separate account for my child?

Your child will need to file their own tax return in order to report their investment income.
To begin an account for your child:

  1. Sign out of your account
  2. Click the Create New Account link
  3. Create a new account for your child with a different username and password
  4. Complete your child's return using this new account
If your child's unearned income is over $2,700, you may need to file Form 8615 with your return.

*Be sure to keep your child's sign-in information in a safe place so you can file again using this same account for your child next filing season.
