My kid invests some of her money in stocks that yield dividends. Does that count as "earned income" for her that would be eligible to deposit in an IRA?

To contribute to a traditional IRA, you, and/or your spouse if you file a joint return, must have taxable compensation, such as wages, salaries, commissions, tips, bonuses, or net income from self-employment. For tax years beginning after 2019, there is no age limit to contribute to a traditional IRA. Compensation for purposes of contributing to an IRA doesn't include earnings and profits from property, such as rental income, interest and dividend income, or any amount received as pension or annuity income, or as deferred compensation.

Dividend and interest income are examples of unearned income. Work related income is earned income
