Q. She can file her own even though she can be claimed as a dependent by me. Is that correct?

A. Yes. In fact, she must file on her own.  You are not allowed include her income on your tax return. Her income is high enough to have to file (more than $13,850).

 

In TurboTax, she indicates that somebody else can claim her as a dependent, at the personal information section.  TT will check the "can be claimed as a dependent" box on form 1040.
