Recovery Rebate

Last year my daughter was a dependent on my return (2019) because she was a full time student.  In 2020 she was employed full time all year and therefore is not a dependent.   We are attempting to file her 2020 tax return and got to the question about stimulus payments and we replied "no" because she did not receive any stimulus payments in 2020 because she was a dependent.  As we went through the next screen it stated she was eligible for $1800 but it did not ask if she was a dependent and we file this is incorrect and do not want to submit the return with this error.   Please advise if we should have stated yes to receiving stimulus payments because she indirectly received via the stimulus payments we received as her parents.
