My daughter didn't have any federal tax withheld from her part time job in 2021, only state tax. She earned $928. Does she have to file a federal return or only state?

No, your daughter does not need to file a federal return.

The filing requirements for filing a state return vary depending on the state. Where do you live?

With TurboTax, you can not complete and file a state return only.

You will have to at least complete a federal return. Only then can you complete the state return with the TurboTax program. However, she may not be able to e-file it.

Many states "require" you to e-file the federal return before you will be able to e-file a state return. So if no federal return is e-filed, you'll have to print, sign and mail the state return.
