My daughter meets the test to qualify as a dependent on my taxes, but she already filed her taxes and probably said she did not qualify as a dependent for anyone else

Do I need to get a copy of what she did and then file an amended return for her before I file my taxes listing her as a dependent?

Yes, that's exactly what you need to do.  And, if she did claim herself, you should file your own return on paper.  That's because, if your daughter e-filed her return claiming herself, and you subsequently e-file a return claiming her, yours will be automatically rejected.  (If you do amend your daughter's return, her amended return must also be filed on paper.  An amended return cannot be e-filed.)
