Does my 16 year old daughter have to file taxes?

It depends.  How much did she earn in 2023?

to answer your question we need to know what type of income she had and the approximate amount. her age is also relevant

for example if all she had was a w-2 for $500 and no federal or state withholding filing would not be necessary

but if she earned bet $450 as an independent contractor she would have to file.

$1269.74.

$1269.74. No Federal Income Tax withheld.

She is not required to file a tax return since her income is below the filing requirements, assuming that the income was reported on a W-2.
