Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You do not include your daughter's income on your tax return either way. If her income was from a 1099-MISC or no form, she must file her own tax return if the net income was more than $400. 

If her income was from a W-2, she is not required to file her own return unless the income was more than $12,000. However, if she had federal taxes withheld from her income, she should file a return to get a refund. If she files a return and you can claim her, she must indicate on her return that she can be claimed by someone else.
