Taxable scholarship not reported on W2 and standard deduction issue

I claim my 21 year old full-time college student daughter as a dependent. She has had 2 scholarships that have a total of $9,200 in taxable portions (that were spent on room and board). She is filing her own taxes as she also has an insignificant amount of self-employment tax ($400).  She reported the taxable portion under misc. income and TT shows her as owing over $2,000 in federal and state income taxes. She entered the exact same info on H&R Block, Credit Karma, and FreeTaxUSA and ALL show her as owing $0 because they all give her 9,200+350 in standard deduction. What is she doing wrong? Thank you kindly for answers.
