Should my daughter file her own taxes under these circumstances?

Hello everyone, my situation is as follows.

I made $26k

I have a 18 year old daughter 

She started college in fall 2019

She went to a summer program and got paid $5750

We paid $4200 in tuition and $300 in books

My questions are:

Someone told me that I can claim her as my dependent but she still needs to file her own taxes? How does this work?

She has receipts for the tuition and $150 but is missing the other $150, other than receipts do I need anything else?

This is my first time filing in this situation so if anyone could give me a few ideas, I'll appreciate it, thank you
