My daughter is 14 yrs old and she worked last summer, she earned around $900 so she needs to do her own income taxes and can we added her in our income tax as dependent?

She is still your dependent. If nothing was withheld from her W-2 she would not have to file. If she does file be sure that she checks the box saying that someone can claim her.

Yes, you should claim her as a dependent on your return.
When you file her tax return, look for the check box that indicates she is claimed as a dependent on another tax return.
