My 18 yr. old dependent daughter needs to file her taxes How much does she have to make to file?

[Vanessa A]

If she makes less than $14,600 from wages or $400 for self-employment, she does not need to file a return, but she can in order to claim a refund of taxes withheld.  If she needs to file for other reasons, she can still file a return regardless of how little she made.  

Who needs to file a return. 

[DoninGA]

She would need to have earned $400 or more if she was self-employed. 

Or if she worked for wages that were reported on a W-2, more than $14,600. 

Or if she had unearned income, interest, dividends or capital gains of over $1,300.
