So I'm trying to do my own tax return for the 2018 using the turbotax software I got at Costco in 2018, I'm all done with our return as join married couple. But I have 2 adult children that I filed them as dependents while they are both full time college students. They have their own W2 (not much), how do I add them onto my filling.
I went back to "Federal Taxes" and click on "Wages & Incomes", but I saw Turbotax only allow to add more W2 under my name or my husband name. What should I do? Thank you
You do NOT enter a dependent's earned income from wages reported on a W-2 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.
Thank you for your respond. May you please explain of how do my dependent file his own tax? Could I use the same software I'm using now for my husband and I? Or I have to buy another one just for him?
The downloaded version you already have can complete all the returns you need. Once you are done with your return you will START another ... click on FILE in the menu bar upper left and click start NEW.
