child who is a full time student received form 1099NEC. Does she have to file her own return?

Yes. Form 1099-NEC reports self-employment and she has to pay self-employment for net income over $400.

 

You can still claim her as your dependent if she is under 24 and a full-time student. On her return, she has to mark that she can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.

child who is a full time student received form 1099NEC. Does she have to file her own return?

Yes, she must file a tax return.   Even $400 of self-employment income requires you to file a return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.   She still needs to say on her own return that she can be claimed as someone else's dependent.

 

If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare,  you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the desktop software download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.
