UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019
She does not need to file a return (from the info provided in your question).
She would have to file a return in the following circumstances:
- Her earned income (from her job) is above $12,200;
- Any unearned income (interest, dividends, etc) is above $1,100;
- Her income was from self-employment [she was issued a 1099-MISC and not a W-2] and is $400 or more; or
- She wants to get back any taxes withheld.
If she does file a return (to get back any withholding), be sure she indicates that someone else (you) claimed her as a dependent.
