18 year old child, dependent & HS student with W2 income

My child, 18 years old at the end of 2024, had a W2 income of $2500

Taxes withheld: ($46 fed Tax, $37 State Tax, $36 Medicare Tax, $156 Social Security Tax).

 

She invested all the income to ROTH IRA.

 

Question:
1. Does child need to file taxes?

2. Or Do I need to add child's income to my return? 

3. If she has to file the return, Can I still claim her as a dependent on my tax return (and get tax credit) since I took care of all her expenses?

 

Could you please provide guidance?
