Teenager worked during the year and received a W2. Where do I put this in Turbo Tax because no questions were allocated for this.

They would file there own tax return and indicate on their return that they can be claimed as a dependent.

You do NOT enter a dependent's earned income on your tax return.

You don't include their income on your return. It would only go on their return if they are required to file one. To file a separate return for your dependent you need to set up a new account. Online is only good for one return per account. You can use the same email address for 5 accounts. They can probably use the Free Edition. How to start a new online return

Be sure on their return they check the box that says they can be claimed on someone else’s return. If their only income is W2 and under 12,950 they do not have to file a return except to get back any withholding taken out.
