Does my child have to pay taxes but she was sent a 1099-NEC

This year my daughter got her first job (17 year old), and her job sent her a 1099-NEC from. The form says that she got $967 in nonemployee comp. Does she still have to file taxes even though she's a dependent and didn't make more than $1000?

Yes that is self employment income.  She has to pay self employment tax on it no matter how small it is.

 

You don't include their income on your return. It would only go on their return if they are required to file one. To file a separate return for your dependent you need to set up a new account. Online is only good for one return per account. You can use the same email address for 5 accounts.  How to start a new online return

Be sure on their return they check the box that says they can be claimed on someone else’s return. 

You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs. All the Desktop programs have the same forms.  You just get more help and guidance in the higher versions.
