How do i enter a W-2 for my 17 year old daughter? I can add for my spouse and I, but can't figure out how to add one for my daughter.

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:

You don't include their income on your return. It would only go on their return if they are required to file one. To file a separate return for your dependent you need to set up a new account. Online is only good for one return per account. You can use the same email address for 5 accounts. They can probably use the Free Edition. How to start a new online 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 12,950 they do not have to file a return except to get back any withholding taken out.

As volvogirl and xmasbaby 0 stated, you do not put your daughter's income on your return.  Your daughter can file her own return, and the W-2 will be placed on her return.  Depending on the amount of the W-2 will determine if she has a filing requirement.  However, if she does not have a filing requirement but has taxes withheld, she will need to file a refund for any taxes paid.  The filing requirement for 2022 is $12,950.

If your daughter files a return, you may still claim her on your return as a dependent.  You will want to ensure her return is filled out as being claimed by someone else as a dependent.  To be able to claim her as a dependent, she must meet the following requirements:

• Under the age of 19
• A US Citizen, US National, US resident, or resident of Canada or Mexico
• Live with you for more than half the year
• You provide more than half her support
