You do not enter a dependent's earned income from work on your tax return. The dependent can file their own tax return and indicate on the return that they can be claimed as a dependent.

You can still claim them on your return. Be sure on their return they check the box that says they can be claimed on someone else’s return. If their only income is W2 and under 13,850 they do not have to file a return except to get back any withholding taken out.
