Child's Income (Under Age 24)

I have 2 daughters. Both full time students.Daughter D1 study at University of Miami. Daughter D2 study at University of South Carolina. D1 received a W2 from U Miami in the amount US$ 1,062.00. D2 received a W2 from a Physical Therapy clinic she worked during Summer in the amount of US$ 3,165.00. According to your "learn more", there are three causes for them to have to fill a tax return: 1)Unearned income > US$ 1,050.00. Both have no unearned income. 2-) The earned income > US$ 6,300.00. Not the case. 3-) Gross income was more than the larger of US$ 1,050.00 or earned income + US$ 350.00. ??? Here I am lost. I do not think that this is the case, but I would appreciate having a formal confirmation.
Finally, if they do not need to fill a tax return, does that mean that I do not need to add their income to the total family's income? If I do need, how should I do that?
Thanks for your kind attention to this question.
