After you file

Yes, you can do that, if you don't mind the extra hassle of filing an amended return yourself.

 

Note that the $500 credit is probably the Credit for Other Dependents (I assume your daughter is 17 or older).

 

And if I understand your situation, you will get some of your refund when you file the first time and even more when you file the second time, right? I just want to make sure that you don't spend all of your refund from the first filing if you may have to pay for the second.
