You enter your daughter's information as a dependent in My Info. At age 19 if she is a full-time student she can be claimed as your qualifying child dependent. The $500 Credit for Other Dependents will show up on line 19 of your Form 1040.
If you are claiming her that means you are the one who can get the education credit on your tax return.
Your daughter can file a tax return to seek a refund of tax withheld from her paychecks but she must say on her return that she can be claimed as someone else's dependent. if she filed before you and and did not say that, your e-file is going to be rejected. If that happens you need to print, sign and mail your own tax return.
She will have to amend her return to change the way she answered the question about whether she can be claimed. if she receives the $1400 recovery rebate credit she will have to pay it back
