My dependent daughter goes to college, worked part-time and received a Pandemic Unemployment Assistance check. Does she have to file separately?

I always listed her as my dependent but turbotax 2020 does popup her name as who else received a 1099-Q. Hence, does she have to file separately?

Yes. That income is hers so she reports it on her return assuming she made enough to have to file a return. If she files she must take care to check the box saying that someone else can claim her.
