If I claim my girlfriend what does she do with her w2s? Can she claim them as long as she clicks the bubble stating someone's going to claim her?

Yes, she can file her own tax return and report the W-2 forms. If she is not required to file, she may want to - just to get her tax withheld back.

And you are correct - she would have to indicate on her tax return that she is being claimed by someone else.

Note: If her gross income is more than $4050, she doesn't qualify as your dependent. She should file and claim herself.
