After you file
No one said your daughters refund would take 4-6 months. It does take mailed returns longer, but the IRS is not going to wait for your amended return to process her return. Mailed returns take longer because a human has to open it and enter the data.
Are you changing your return because your child really cannot be claimed? If she CAN be claimed then the rule is that she must say on her own return that she can be claimed. We are seeing lots of people who are playing with the rules so that kids can get $1400 checks---not that you are one of those people.
If she cannot be claimed then she can mail her return and get the stimulus money----if she cannot be claimed for 2020 that means she uses the recovery rebate credit and gets the first two stimulus amounts too.
