What should I do for my rejected efile return because I claimed my kid as a dependent, but she forgot to check the "Someone can claim you...dependent" box on her return?

My daughter is 16, and she worked part-time after school last year. She efiled her tax return but forgot to check the "someone can claim you as a dependent" box. When I efiled my Federal and State returns yesterday claiming her as my dependent. They were rejected (IND-517-01). I want to keep her as my dependent. What should I do now? Should she amend her return and check the box and file (or efile) again? Then, what should I do with my return? Thanks.
