If someone else claimed your child then yes, you need to print, sign and mail your tax return so that the IRS will process your return that claims your daughter. It will take a lot longer for them to process your mailed return, so you will need to be patient as you wait for them to process the return. And eventually the IRS will send letters to you and the other person who claimed the child in order to sort out who could claim her. Be prepared to prove she lived with you if necessary.

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 mailed in separate envelopes to separate addresses.
