Taxable income is $4,291.  Tax before credits is $17,131 - something is wrong with the calculation.

Found it!  Form 8615 needs to have calculated tax AND actual tax paid by the parent(s) claiming the dependent for the calculation to reflect only the dependent's tax adjustment.  Kiddie tax form gone wild....
