No. If she received a W-2 and had tax withheld she should file her own return taking care to check the box saying that she can be claimed by someone else. If she had no tax withheld she doesn’t have a filing requirement.

No, you do not report your daughter's wages on your tax return.

 

You can claim her as a dependent if she otherwise qualifies.

 

If her income is wages reported on form W-2, she is not required to file a tax return if she earned less than $12,550. However, if she had taxes withheld, she can file a tax return to claim a refund.

 

If her income is self-employed income reported on form 1099-NEC, she is required to file a tax return if she earned more than $400.

 

If she files a tax return, she has to indicate in TurboTax that she can be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
