After you file

You never enter your child's W-2 on your own tax return.  If his income exceeds the filing threshold for his status (or if he wants to claim a refund of withheld taxes), he must file his own return. 

 

You may still claim him as a dependent, if he qualifies.  If he qualifies as your dependent, be sure he indicates that on his own return.

 

For tax year 2022, the filing threshold for an unmarried dependent with W-2 income only is $12,950.
