Another possibility is that someone else--maybe even accidentally --- used your child's SSN on a tax return. Once the SSN is in the system, no one else can e-file using it. You will have to print, sign and mail your own return to claim your daughter and let the IRS sort out the duplicate use of the SSN.
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 UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
