If she only made a few hundred dollars, she'll owe no tax, and the benefit to her to take her own exemption would be exactly zero. Or in the words of the old song, "Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'."
But she still needs to file to get back whatever her employer withheld. Just make sure she doesn't claim her own exemption. My kids sometimes did make enough summer money to be taxable, but it all went toward college, so I just paid their taxes for them, and kept the exemption.

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
