There are some instances where a parent can include a child's income on their return. However, this only applies to certain types of 'unearned' income, not wages from part-time work.

You cannot include your daughter's wage income on your tax return. If she has earned enough income to be required to file a return, then it must be reported on her own return.

Take a look at the following TurboTax article for further guidance: Do I need to file my own taxes if I'm a dependent?
