This has to be reported on the child's own tax return. You cannot report any other persons Incone on your own return, except for informational purposes.

Yes if you are claiming Eligible Dependant you will be asked to input her Net Income ( ie what's reported on her return). This is to allow your tax credit amount to be calculated.

Turbo Tax standard is not allowing me to put in an amount anywhere, it only says is her income 0? and I can only pick yes or no. I cannot see anywhere in the dependent info that I can enter that number. If anyone else has found it please let me know.

In TurboTax, once you get to the "Deductions" section i"Additional Dependant Information - This is where it will ask if they worked, and if you say "YES" it will ask you to enter amounts from specific line number from their return.
