The child would claim their income on their own tax return, if they are filing one. Then on your return you would report their Net Income (T1, line 236) and any Non-refundable tax credits (Schedule 1, sum of lines 3 to 22) they may have gotten on their return.

If they are not filing a return, then you can estimate their Net Income if they have a T4 by subtracting any amounts included in Boxes 20 and Box 44 from box 14. If they have no T4, then you can put the full amount as their Net Income.
