Please clarify. Is your daughter your dependent? What state are you referring to?

There are several reasons why she may not have received the standard deduction  You will need to provide information on her age, is she a dependent on someone else's return, is she filing to report unearned income?  Please provide more information.

 

Dependents – If you can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer, your standard deduction for 2021 is limited to the greater of: (1) $1,100, or (2) your earned income plus
