No.  The filing requirement is $12,200.

 

But that's only the simple answer.  More info is needed for more accurate answer. 

 

What is a "tuition check"? What is in boxes 1 & 5 of her 1098-T?  I assume you are claiming her as a dependent.  Are you claiming a tuition credit? Schools don't write "tuition checks"; parents write tuition checks.
