Thank you for your response. So if I understand correctly, the Dependent files their own return and indicates on their return that they are claimed as a dependent. So, in this case...is the EIC (Earned Income Credit) is on their return and not on their parent's? Seems like it (EIC) would be on theirs (Dependent's), but just checking.
The dependent does need to file taxes as it would impact their financial aid even though their income is around $4700 from part-time work, as they will need to provide a copy of their taxes as part of the determination process for Financial Aid.
