Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are married and filing jointly, then you are filing on the same tax return.  Claiming your daughter as a dependent on your joint return means you are both claiming her.  There is no designation as to which one is claiming her, you are filing a joint return.  If you file separately, then only one of you can claim her as a dependent.
