Get your taxes done using TurboTax

She is not required to file, but if she wants to get the state withholding back, she can file a Michigan state return and get that money back.   It is optional.   To do that, she would enter the W-2 on the federal portion and TurboTax will transfer everything to the state return so she could get the refund.   As mentioned above, if she files the return, be sure to indicate that she is being claimed as dependent on another tax return (yours).
