EIC question

Filing status is single. In the household section I listed I have a child and identified her as a non dependent. In the later section for deductions and credits, EIC, it said I qualify for this credit. However her father is claiming her as a dependent on their tax return. I try to file my taxes and it kicks back with my tax return being rejected because of SEIC-F1040-506-04 (child's SSN found on another tax return). Am I supposed to take my child's information off my tax return completely to be able to refile my tax return? It's confusing and needing help. She's on my return as a nondependent  (because I'm not claiming her on my taxes) so how do I make sure I do not collect the tax credit because someone else already is.
