You don't add your dependent Earned Income on your tax return.
If your dependent Earned Income exceeds $12,200 in 2019, he/she should file their own return and report the W-2 on their return.
Even if your dependent didn't earn enough to be required to file, they may want to file a return to recover any withholding.
If your child's only income is interest and dividend income (including capital gain distributions) and totals less than $11,000, you may be able to elect to include that income on your return rather than file a return for your child.
