You cannot enter on your tax return the earned income of a dependent.
The dependent files their own tax return to report their income and indicates on their tax return that they can be claimed as a dependent.
Income from working is only reported on the worker's own tax return, never on a parent's return, even if they are a dependent.
Sometimes, if the child's only income is from investments, it can be reported on the parent's return. That's the only time.
