Deductions & credits

You do not enter your dependent's W-2 on your return. Instead, if your dependent is required to file a return, your dependent should file his or her own return.

 

On the other hand, even if your dependent is not required to file a return, dependents often file a return just to recover the withholding on their W-2.
