Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, if you qualify to claim your daughter as a dependent, she can file her own return but she must indicate on the return that someone else is claiming her.
A dependent is not required to file a tax return if there is only earned income (from working) less than $6,300 but if taxes were withheld (Box 2 W2) and a tax return is filed, the withholding will be refunded. If you are claiming a dependent, on the dependent's tax return in Turbo Tax be sure to indicate that "someone else can claim as a dependent" and "someone else will claim " in the Personal Info section so the correct exemption is applied.
