If my 14 years old daughter worked and made $1,000.00, does she need to file a tax return

That depends, a minor who earns less than $12,950 will not owe taxes but may choose to file a return to receive a refund of withheld earnings. A child who earns $1,150 or more (tax year 2022) in "unearned income,” such as dividends or interest, needs to file a tax return.

Did she get a W2?  You don't have to file if you only have W2 income under 12,950 but you can file to get back any withholding taken out in boxes 2 or 17.  But you don't get boxes 4 or 6 back.  If you got a 1099Misc or 1099NEC you have to file it as self employment income no matter how small the amount.
