Deductions & credits
You don't enter your dependent's W-2 earnings on your return.
If your unmarried dependent's W-2 earnings exceed their Standard Deduction ($13,850 in 2023), they should file their own return and report the W-2 on their return.
Even if your dependent didn't earn enough to be required to file, they may want to file a return to recover any withholdings. In that case, they need to indicate on their return that they qualify to be claimed as a dependent.
See this TurboTax help article for more information.
