Question

kiddie tax

On Form 8615 line 15 says enter tax on amount on line 14 based on child's filing status.  My line 14 amount is $1850 and the tax should be $186 but the program is calculating the tax as $468.  Is the program calculating this incorrectly?

Child has no interest or dividends so worksheets didn't apply.
