Question

So my minor kids here in Indiana have made money last year but I am claiming them.... does anyone know what we should do with their w2s? Do they file separate or with me?

    You do Not enter their W-2's on your tax return.

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

    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 14,600 they do not have to file a return except to get back any withholding taken out.
