Okay, for your situation you do not include your daughters' income to your tax return. There is no unearned income for either daughter, so do not worry about adding their income to your tax return. Your daughters will not have to file their own tax returns. In order to be required to file a tax return, they would have had to have made in excess of their personal exemption amount which is $4,050 for 2016.
You will be able to claim both of your daughters on your income tax return if the following conditions have been met on the IRS test below:
A parent may claim their child if they meet the qualifying child test as outlined below:
