My 16 year old dependent has a W2 of $1404. Do I need to file taxes for it? if yes, how can I add it to my tax returns?

No, if your dependent's only income was $1404 reported on a W-2, then that does not require a tax return. If Federal or state taxes were withheld, then you may want to file a return in order to claim that money back. However, your dependent will need to file their own return. W-2 income of a dependent cannot be included on their parent's return.

To learn more about the filing requirements, take a look at the following TurboTax help article:
