Because i have a friend who is claiming her child but she only worked two months and she didnt do her tax return from her job for those two months. Do she have to file those tax returns even if she only worked two months. She seem to think not.

If she earned less than $8,450 from wages she does not need to file a tax return. However if any taxes were withheld, she needs to file to get those refunded.
Since she has a child, she may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit. That's free money for her if she qualifies, however she MUST file a tax return to get that money.

Your return was pulled for review. The IRS does this with a certain number of returns every year. Basically, it's a "mini-audit", for lack of a better term, to make sure your return is correct. It will be compared to prior years, the info on your W-2s validated, etc. There may be absolutely nothing wrong with your return or nothing on it to red flag, just the fact that you had the misfortune of having your return selected for this process. If you do not owe any debts that can have refund monies used for payment or owe other taxes, your refund will be issued, it just takes more time. The recovery rebate issue happened to many people, even those who didn't claim it, due to a problem with the IRS computers. It is my understanding that if this is the case, refunds are being delayed by a week. EIC is being closely examined this year, so if you claimed it, that may be why your return is being manually reviewed. The fact that the IRS is manually reviewing your return should have no bearing on your state tax refund status.

If she made under $8450, she doesn't have to file, but if she doesn't file she won't get EIC. And if she does file, she has to report ALL of her income.
If she doesn't file a tax return, how is she planning to claim her child? Claiming dependents is done on a tax return.
If you are saying she isn't planning to report the income, then she wouldn't get an earned income credit since you only get it if you have income.
