Ok, so I discovered the answer to my question: Yes, she needs to file and pay this liability. According to the instructions for Oregon's Form OR-40, a dependent must file if the earned income is "[t]he larger of $1,150, or your earned income plus $400, up to the standard deduction amount for your filing status." (The standard deduction is $2,420.)
Thanks for your help, TurboTax Community!
