The IRS allows parents to elect to report your child's interest, ordinary dividends, and capital gains distributions on their return. If the income your child received does not fall into those categories, you will not be able to claim your child's income in your return.
Your child will be required to file his/her own return because he/she is above the filing requirements for a dependent (see the amounts below). Make sure that when you file your child's return you mark that someone else is claiming him/her as a dependent.
For more information on both the Kiddie Tax and filing requirements see the following TurboTax help articles:
