My daughter had a part-time job were do I put that

You would not enter your daughter's part time job on your tax return.  

She would file her own return to report the income.  She would need to make sure she does not claim herself as a dependent (as you are claiming her).  She then would most likely get back all the money of box 2 of her W-2.  If she made less than $6,300 of W-2 income she would not need to file, however to get any money back in box 2 of the W-2 is the reason she would want to file.  There may also be a state refund depending on if any taxes were withheld for this. 

She would open a separate account in TurboTax to do this.
