My daughter is on F1 visa but dependent on me. However as part of her CPT she worked part time and earned about $6400 for the entire year. Should I include her in my filing? If yes, how to include as the system asks to select W2 for myself or for my spouse. Your input would be appreciated.
@bethel-3219 , I am not familiar with the on-line version of the product or its screens.
(a) What is your own tax status -- US Person ( citizen/GreenCard/Resident for Tax purposes(? If on a work visa , which ? Which country are you from ?
(b) Since your child is on F-1 , she is independent of you -- her status is probably NRA ( she is not on dependent visa ). So she has to file her own return.
(c) Her EAD / CPT incomes are declared under her return/status -- 1040-NR generally ( depending on the exact facts/antecedents --- so please tell ).
You can PM me and we can go into details away from public view ( just NO PII -- Personally Identifiable Info )

A child's earned income doesn't get entered on their parent's tax return (only investment income up to a certain amount).
You mentioned that your daughter is on a F1 Visa. She will have to file a Form 1040-NR. TurboTax doesn't support Form 1040-NR, but you can visit our partner Sprintax: Visit the TurboTax/Sprintax site to file your 1040-NR.
