Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@rjs, you got me! There was an important error in my question. She has no federal liability but she does have an $88 liability to her state of residence (Oregon). I see this is because her W2 shows nothing withheld by the state.

 

My ultimate question is still, as a dependent does she actually need to file at all (meaning, can we save the $88) or is she required to file?
