Question for my daughter's 1099-misc

[edtotax6]

I'm trying to file join return. I find the place for 1099-misc but only my name and my wife's name there. how can I edit 1099-misc for my daughter? Thanks

You cannot add your daughter's form 1099-MISC on your joint return.

She needs to file your own tax return. If you claim her as a dependent, she must indicate on her return that Someone else is claiming her as a dependent.

She needs to file her own tax return? Can I count her as exemption? I remember if child or student doesn’t have to file separate tax return. IRS has a form for children or students, right?

You can still claim her as a dependent.
There is no special tax form for children.
She has to file a return because she received a form 1099-MISC. You just need to indicate on her return that Someone else is claiming her as a dependent.
