Form W-2 - Dependents
1

If your dependent receives a Form W-2, you cannot report it on your tax return.  Your dependent has to report the Form W-2 on their own tax return (if they are required to file).

If you need help reporting Form W-2, go to our Form W-2 - Entering in Program FAQ.

If you don't know if your dependent needs to file a tax return, go to the IRS Do I Need to File a Tax Return? Interactive Tax Assistant webpage.
