Yes. Being claimed as a dependent doesn't prevent the dependent from filing a return. That also doesn't prevent you from still claiming them on your own return. The IRS gives guidelines for determining whether dependents are required to file tax returns. Also, even though dependents might not be required to file, they should file if tax was withheld in order to receive a refund of that tax.
