SHE IS 17 YRS OLD AND SHE ONLY MADE 3500

No, you never include your dependent's W2 on your return. It would go on her return. If all she had for income is 3500 in W2 wages, she is not required to file a federal return. Even if she is not required to file a return, if she had taxes withheld, she may want to file to get the taxes refunded. If she files a return, be sure and have her check that she can be claimed on someone else's return.

Also check you state's Department of Revenue website to see if she is required to file a state return. Every state has different requirements. For example, in PA, income over $33 requires the taxpayer to file a return.
