How to include my child's W2 as she is dependent on me and is F1 student and worked on CPT and her own W2

[bethel-3219]

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.
