I suggest that you file a separate return for the child. The kiddie tax applies to most unearned income that a child receives and does not apply to any salary or wages.
Indicate in the Information section that someone else can claim them as a dependent. Then complete the child's tax return.
Then file your own tax return claiming the child as a dependent.
