my daughter is a college student who had a part time job that she received a 1099-R for. doing her taxes I realize that her pay is considered an early withdrawal from a retirement account and subject to early withdrawal penalties, is this correct? will this reduce the amount of her return? she made next to nothing last year.

A 1099-R reports a distribution from a retirement account. Pay from a job is reported on a W-2 or 1099-MISC.
How long ago did she cash out the retirement money? She could have rolled it over to another account within 60 days. If it has been more than that--and sounds like it has since this is March---then she will pay 10% early withdrawal penalty on it and ordinary income tax in her tax bracket--if she has to pay any tax for her "next to nothing" income. Same thing happened to my college student niece whose taxes I prepare--but it ended up costing her about $22 which just reduced her refund amount.
She does have to enter the 1099R though-
Go to Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA 401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
