I filed online with my daughter as a dependent in error. I filed online to amend it to take her off as dependent and the returned was accepted. She is still unable to file her return because it says her SSN is used as a dependent under someone else's return. Since I filed the amendment online and it was already accepted, how long will it take to be able for her to file her return?

She will not ever be able to e-file it. Her return must be filed by mail this year. The use of her SSN on your return has blocked her from e-filing her 2024 return, even if you amended. As soon as she is ready to put her return in an envelope she can file it by mail.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
As per xmasbaby0 mentions above, your daughter will have to paper-file her tax return. She will have to print her return and required schedules in the TurboTax program.
If she is using TurboTax Online she should update the payment method for her TurboTax fees for all of the tax returns she is filing by mail. And then follow the instructions to print her return(s). If she hasn't already paid any outstanding TurboTax fees, she will be prompted to do so before she can print.
If she is using TurboTax desktop, she can: select "Print Returns to Mail", then select "Preview Print Copy". Once the preview has opened, select the printer icon. When finished, select Continue in TurboTax and follow any additional onscreen instructions
The first page of her printed return will be her filing instructions. This page gives the address to send her return to, and any forms she will need to include with your return.
Your refund may be delayed (if you have not received it yet) while the IRS processes your return.
Paper tax returns can take the IRS up to six to eight weeks to process.
