It depends. It does sound like she may be required to file a federal return this year but you may be claiming her as a dependent.  The Education Credit for qualifying education expenses will go with you if you claim her and with her if you do not. 

 

This TurboTax Help article lists the exceptions when she would be required to file a federal return.
