Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Why do you want to put your daughter's W-2 on your 1040?

 

If she is your dependent, it is not required. However, if she made enough money to have to file as a dependent, then she needs to put her W-2 on her own 1040 (in Online TurboTax, this means she needs her own TurboTax account).

 

And even if she does not have to file (see IRS Pub 17) but would like to get her withholding back, she still needs to file her own 1040 return using her own Online account.

 

NOTE: if you have the CD/download software, then you can e-file up to 5 returns with the same software.
