She may get less than the 14,600 Standard Deduction if she doesn't have any earned income from W2 or self employment. The 2024 Standard Deduction for an individual for whom an exemption can be claimed on another person's tax return is limited to the greater of:

So you would get a minimum of $1,300 to a max of 14,600.
