Earlier in another post you said that she under reported her tips when you prepared her tax return. Now you say she reported every penny.

I've also done my daughter's tax return -

The amount reported on her tax return wasn't even close to the actual tips she received working at Starbucks.

Fairness to honest tipped workers. My daughter reported every penny of her tips (and was taxed on it). My sister does not (so she receives proportionately more to live on than my daughter.
