Teen Home Health worker with 1099 NEC

Last year I filed my teens taxes and paid her unemployment taxes since she was an independent contractor employed thru an agency (she was 17) the IRS months later sent her a check for the amount we sent in stating that she didn't owe unemployment because of her field of work and age.  I am doing her taxes again this year on Turbotax and again she is required to pay unemployment tax.  Am I missing something on the program?  She is still my dependent.  She made $6374 this year on line 1 of 1099 NEC.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
