Where can I use W-2 for a full time college freshman daughter in my tax return?

My daughter was a full-time college freshman in 2016, and received two W-2 from an internship and a school. The total amount is $1,600. I think she does not have to file her own tax, and I can keep her as a dependent in my tax return. Where should I use her two W-2 in my tax return? No use?

You should not claim your child's W-2 or self-employment income on your return even if you claim him as a dependent. The dependent would file his/her own tax return and should check the box Someone else can claim me on their tax return in the personal information section.
