Can i combine my depedent's w-2 with mine?

No. You never combine W-2's, even your own. You also never report a dependent's income from work on your return.  They report work income on their own return, and they must check the box for "I can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return."  

You can only file one return per account with Turbotax online, so you will need to create a second account if they are required to file, but it can use the same email address for notifications as long as the user name is different. See this FAQ to create another account: https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288574

See this FAQ with filing requirements by age, income and filing status to see if your dependent needs to file a return:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302274
