To reduce the tax savings that result from shifting income from parents to children, the net unearned income of certain children is taxed as

if it were the parents' income. This provision, commonly referred to as the "kiddie tax," applies to any child who is under age $19($or under

age $24$ if a full$-$time student$)$ and has unearned income of more than $$2,500.$
