Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Maybe.  What Pub 929 says on that amount depends on whether or not the amount your daughter received was (a) wages (as compared to self-employment) and (b) earned from a church that is exempt from remitting social security and Medicare wages.  Your child will not receive a 1099-MISC if the amount is less than $600, (which would be for self-employment), and, if it is self-employment, would not have to file because the amount is under $400 (not $1050.  Keep reading below the $108.28 figure to see the self-employment filing requirement).  

The question is:  If your daughter had received enough income, would she have received a 1099-MISC or a W-2?  If a 1099-MISC, she does not have to file.  If a W-2, (which she should have received because of the filing requirement mentioned in your question), then the question is if Social Security and Medicare (boxes 2 and 4) have withholding amounts in them.  If they do, then she doesn't have to file; if they do not have amounts, she has a filing requirement (which would be on Form 1040).
