A W-2 for a dependent will have to have their own tax return. If the total income is less than $12,550 there is no tax return required. However, if taxes were withheld, the only way to get a refund is to file a return.
Be sure that if you do file a dependents return that it indicates that someone else (you) can claim them as a dependent.
State filing requirements may be different.
