You do not report your daughter's income on your return.
You can claim her as a dependent.
If her income is wages reported on form W-2, she is not required to file a tax return if she earned less than $12,400. However, if he shad taxes withheld, she can file a tax return to claim a refund.
If her income is self-employed income reported on form 1099-NEC, she is required to file a tax return if she earned more than $400.
If she files a tax return, she has to indicate in TurboTax that she can be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
MY DEPENDENT HAD A JOB
If your dependent has a W-2 for his after-school job, summer job, etc. you do not include the information on your own return. You can still claim your child as a dependent on your own return. He/she can file his own return for a refund of some of his withheld wages (he won’t get back anything for Social Security or Medicare), but MUST indicate on it that he can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. (Supervise this closely or prepare it for him!)
If your dependent’s earnings were over $400 and were reported on a 1099Misc or 1099NEC then he must file a return and pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare. You may want to use this version of TT for that:
