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 then he must file a return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.  You may want to use this version of TT for that:

Thanks for your answer its very helpful.  I understand now I dont have to file his income under mine he can file his own.  He did earn 0ver 13K but has his own W2

If he is a full-time college student it is OK if he earned over $4050.  You can still claim him.

The Online version is only good for 1 return. But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.  To do another return you have to set up a new account and new user name and pay any fees again.

Be sure he checks the box on his return that says he can be claimed on someone else's return.  That is very important!
