It depends. These are the qualifying child's tests.
- Child must be your child, stepchild, foster child, sibling, half sibling, stepsibling, or a descendant of any of them An adopted child is always treated as your own child The term “adopted child” includes a child who was lawfully placed with you for legal adoption.
- The child must be: (a) under age 19 at the end of the year and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), (b) under age 24 at the end of the year, a full-time student, and younger than you (or your spouse, if filing jointly), or (c) any age if permanently and totally disabled
- The child must have lived with you for more than half of the year
- The child must not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year
- The child isn’t filing a joint return for the year (unless that joint return is filed only to claim a refund of income tax withheld or estimated tax paid)
- If the child meets the rules to be a qualifying child of more than one person, you must be the person entitled to claim the child as a qualifying child.
As Hal_AL mentions, you will able to claim your daughter as a dependent based on the fact that she lived with you most of the year. It doesn't matter who provided the most support.
