    Unfortunately, you cannot include her 1099-NEC income on your return.  That is because the election to add unearned income to the parents' return is for unearned income (i.e. interest and dividends).  1099-NEC income is considered self-employment income.  If her net earnings were under $400, nothing needs to be done. If she made $400 or more, she'll need to file a tax return.
