    Yes, but only because the IRS will see the net proceeds from the 1099-B. In order to show only the gain, she will need to file a return. If her earned income is on a Form 1099-Misc Box 7,  it would also require her to file. The income would have to entered on Schedule C.

    Dependents: Your standard deduction may be reduced if you are claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return. If you were another person's dependent during a Tax Year, your standard deduction will generally be limited to the greater of $1,050 or your earned income plus $350 up to $12,000.
