How do I add a child’s W2 to my account? When I go to add a W2 it will only allow it to be added under my name or my wife’s name.

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 might also want to use free software from the IRS Free File versions:

AND, if a tax return needs to be filed for his taxes, you have to use an entirely separate account for his (if you are using the "Online" software.

IF you try to use your account, you will overwrite all your own data and make your tax file unrecoverable.

I am claiming my son as a dependent but I guess that would make sense to have him file his own returns and note he is being claimed as a dependent by someone else.
