After you file

First, if your daughter made less than the standard deduction, $12,200, she can file by checking the box that says someone can claim her.  It will not affect her income tax return.

If this is not the case, you must file an amended income tax return.  Your daughter will have to file by mail claiming herself as a dependent, as the IRS' system will show her being claimed by you and her return will be rejected.
