You should not claim your child's
W-2 or self-employment income on your return even if you claim him as a dependent.
If your dependent earned more than
$6,300 in W-2 wages or more than $400 in self-employment/1099/MISC income,
he/she is required to file a return. For less income earned, the dependent may
elect to file a return to obtain a refund of his/her withholding(s)
If the dependent files his own return with TurboTax, he
should
check the box Someone else can claim me
on their tax return in the personal information section.
