No.   A parent who claims a dependent does not enter the child's income on their own return.   If you are a dependent you can still file your own tax return to seek a refund of tax that was withheld from your pay.

 

CAN I FILE A RETURN IF I AM A DEPENDENT?

If you can be claimed as a dependent on your parents’ return, you can still file your own return so that you can receive a refund of taxes withheld.  (You will not get back anything for Social Security or Medicare withheld.) Be sure that on your own return you say that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return.
