I filed my taxes and claimed my 4 kids. My daughter will be 18 on Tuesday and worked part-time for 9 months. Is she required to file also? She grossed under $5,000.

No if she got it on a W2 she doesn't have to file except to get back any withholding taken out.  If she got a 1099Misc for it she does have to file it as self employment income.

 

Do I need to file a return?

Oh if she files be sure she checks the box that says she can be claimed on someone else's return.
