Im trying to add a W2 for my daughter. The W2 page will only let me select my wife or myself to add a W2. How do I get a new W2?

MY DEPENDENT HAD A JOB

If your dependent has a W-2 for his after-school job, summer job, etc. you do not include the information on your own return. You can still claim your child as a dependent on your own return. He/she can file his own return for a refund of some of his withheld wages from boxes 2 or 17 (he won’t get back anything for Social Security or Medicare), but MUST indicate on it that he can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. (Supervise this closely or prepare it for him!)

You don't report your daughter's W-2 on your return.

She can file a return even if not required to file so she can claim a refund for taxes withheld. If you are claiming her as a dependent she needs to select that someone will claim her as dependent.
