Assuming i had provided support for the full year, i can claim them as dependent in my tax return and ignore the Turbo tax Q then that says "does the child made 4300 $" (for finding the eligible dependent Q from Turbo tax). Correct? if i answer to that Q saying yes Turbotax removes the child as dependent. I guess i have to answer the Q as No and proceed. Correct? Do i still file separate tax return for child since they have a separate W2 for the amount 8500 $?
No. You should not even get that question. You answered another question incorrectly.
Delete the dependent and re-enter. Be sure that the child lived with you 7 months or more.
Be sure when it asks if the child provided more the half of the child's own support, you answer NO.
