It depends on the amount of the 1099-MISC.

The IRS requires a tax return to be filed for your daughter if she has:

unearned income was over $1,050
earned income was over $6,300, or
earned and unearned income together total more than the larger of (1) $1,050, or (2) total earned income (up to $6,300) plus $350.

Thank you, I continued reading and he did have more than $400 on his 1099, so we'll get it filed.
