Tax Year Prior to 2020: I am filing joint tax file me and my wife my doughter NILUFER is dependent with me but in 2019 NILUFER has started to work and get money wia W-2 HOW CAN GET ADD HER W-2

You do not enter a dependent's earned income from wages reported on a W-2 on your tax return.  The dependent can file their own tax return and indicate on the return that they can be claimed as a dependent.

It depends.  How old is she?  Is she a full time student?  How much was her income in 2019?  Does she live in your home?

Yes, you can still claim her as a dependent provided she met the criteria as a dependent. One important criteria is that you provide more than half her support and that she is not filing a joint return with someone else but only to get back her federal refund.
