If she is under 19, lived with you all year and did not provide more than half of her own support, she is still a qualifying child/dependent, but she would not qualify you for the child tax credit since she is over 16.

Will she still be able to do her own taxes and get a refund?

Yes, she still needs to file her own taxes, however if you claim her as a dependent she will probably get less back than if you don't., depending on how much she made .
