She received 2 W2's, but we did not add them to our taxes this year. Also did not get a 1098-T form. Can she file these W2's separately? and still be claimed by someone else?

The W-2 Forms do NOT go on your tax return. If she files a tax return then she would report the W-2 Forms on her tax return. If she files a tax return, this does NOT prevent you from claiming her as a dependent. However, she needs to make sure that she indicates on her tax return, that she can be claimed as a dependent.

Since she has earned income, she might be required to file a tax return. Please refer to the following FAQ to determine if she is required to file a tax return. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302185

For the 1098T Form, sometimes this form can be accessed and printed through the school's website. You can also contact the school to get a copy of the form. 

Please refer to the following FAQ for instructions on how to enter the 1098T in Turbo Tax. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4194409
