IF I HAVE A 1099-MISC FOR MYSELF AND MY DEPENDENT DO I ADD BOTH SEPARATELY

[KatrinaB]

Yes, you add them separately and on separate returns. You will only enter your own 1099-misc form on your return and your son's 1099-misc from on his own return. However, when you file your son's return you will need to indicate that he is being claimed as a dependent. Please view my (screenshot) below for reference.

When using TurboTax Online you need to create a new account for each tax return you file. Please view the TurboTax FAQ below for more information.

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:
