No, you don't have to report the 1099-INT of $20 for your dependent, on your income tax return. A dependent's unearned income would have to be over $1,100.
Dependents who have unearned income, such as interest, dividends or capital gains, will generally have to file their own tax return if that income is more than $1,100 for 2021 (income levels are higher for dependents 65 or older or blind).
A parent can elect to claim the child's unearned income on the parent's return if certain criteria are met. Generally, the unearned income over the annual threshold ($2,200 in 2021) is taxed at the parent tax rate.
