how do I add my dependent income and bank interest in joint tax filing

What income did your dependent have?    

[Bsch4477]

You don’t have a joint filing with a dependent. If the dependent has a filing requirement that income goes on their return.

where do I add into turbo tax filing tool?

Your dependent needs to file his own tax return.  His income does not go on your return.

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 from boxes 2 or 17 (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.

Ahh, now we understand. Your self employment income is reported on Sch C and your bank interest on 1099-INT under the income tab.
