You can't include her 1099-B on your return. In fact, you can only report her unearned  income on your return if the only income she had for the year was interest, dividends and capital gains distributions (reported on a 1099-DIV).

See Figure 1 of this link, under Can You Include Your Child's Income On Your Tax Return? Also, see page 9 of this link, Parent’s Election To Report Child’s Interest and Dividends.
