Child filed and checked box that says someone can claim her as a dependent; I did not claim her on my return (doesn't qualify). Does she need to file an amended return?

Daughter filed tax return and checked the box that says someone can claim her as a dependent.  I realized after doing my taxes that she no longer qualifies as a dependent, she is 23, income too high, and was not a full time student in 2018 so I did not claim her.  Do we need to file an amended return for her?  I redid the return and the outcome is the same.  Will this hold up my return from being processed?

If you redid the return and the outcome is the same, you do not have to file the amended return. 

This will not hold up your return or her return from being processed.
