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 (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!)
If your dependent’s earnings were over $400 and were reported on a 1099Misc or 1099NEC then he must file a return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare. You may want to use this version of TT for that:

No. You don't enter their W2 or 1099 income on your return. It would only go on their return if they are required to file one. If they only got a W2 for under 12,400 they don't have to file except to get back any withholding taken out. If it is more or they got a 1099Misc or 1099NEC for any amount they do have to file a return.
Be sure on their return they check the box that says they can be claimed on someone else's return. That is VERY important!
Online is only good for one return per account. You can use the same email address for 5 accounts. They can probably use the Free Edition. How to start a new online return
