The prize money that your daughter received is taxable unearned income. Since she is claimed as a dependent on your tax return, her standard deduction is $1,150 and you stated that her income is more than $7,000. The standard deduction is subtracted from her income to determine the taxable amount. It is subject to income tax and is going to result in a balance due.
