Does my daughter need to file if her W-2 is less than $3,000

I already filed my taxes. How can I do hers as well?  Does she need to pay separately?

She is not required unless this is self employment income. If she made more than $6,300 W-2 income or $400 self employment then she must file her own return. Anything less she is not required but it is a good idea to file a return to get back withholding. Be sure she selects someone else can claim her as a dependent on her return.
