Financial support is not enough. Living in another city for education purposes, counts as living with you. Otherwise, it doesn't. The IRS has a quick quiz, Dependent, to determine if you should claim your daughter. I went through it answering no to full time student and yes to earning more than $5200 along with other questions. My answers said not to claim but I didn't know all the correct answers so you should go through Dependent and answer the questions to get the correct answer for your situation. Once you know the correct answer, both returns can be done. If you can't claim her, then her return qualifies for the larger numbers and she will not be part of your return.
