You do NOT enter the child's earned income from wages reported on W-2 on your tax return.

The child can file their own tax return to get any taxes withheld refunded. If the child does file a return then make double sure that they indicate on their tax return that they can be claimed as a dependent.

When completing Oregon state tax return, how/where do I change it to show I only physically worked in OR for half the year?
