You do not report your dependent's W-2 on your return, they would file their own return to claim that W-2. Delete the W-2 you entered from your return, that will fix the problem.

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.
