I just started working in November 2017 so I only made $120.00. Do I have to file taxes? Can I claim my daughter age 7 for child refund? Thank you

A child can be the “qualifying child” dependent of any close relative in the household. If you live with someone else, e.g. your parents, it may be better if they claim your child or if the non-custodial parent claims her
