She does not need to file. MI Individual Income Tax states: Who Must File a Return
File a return if you owe tax, are due a refund, or your AGI exceeds your exemption allowance. You should also file a Michigan return if you file a federal return, even if you do not owe Michigan tax. This will eliminate unnecessary correspondence from Treasury. If your parents (or someone else) can claim you as a dependent on their return and your AGI is $1,500 or less if single or married filing separately or $3,000 or less if filing a joint return, you do not need to file a return unless you are claiming a refund of withholding.
