Hi, this is the first year in filing when my 16 years old daughter get a 1099-MISC for $800 in the Nonemployee compensation box. Turbo Tax does not give an option to add this form for my daughter. Can this amount be added as extra income in 1040? Does my dependent daughter has to pay tax on this amount?

Your daughter will have to file it on her own return. Because it is nonemployee compensation, she would have to file to pay self-employment tax if the net income is more than $400.

Yes she has to file her own return.

You don't include their income on your return. It would only go on their return if they are required to file one. To file a separate return for your dependent you need to set up a new account. Online is only good for one return per account. You can use the same email address for 5 accounts. They can probably use the Free Edition. How to start a new online return

Or the Free File website. In order to use the Free File program, you have to start it at a special website. Click on the Orange button I Qualify, Let's get Started

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 12,200 they do not have to file a return except to get back any withholding taken out. You have to file for a 1099Misc for any amount.
