EIC but not claim child

I let my ex claim my daughter as a dependent this year on his taxes.  I filed my taxes, then I found out that I was able to claim the EIC for her even though I didn't claim her as a dependent.  So, I amended my taxes and TurboTax seemed to walk me through it accurately.  It said I could not claim her as a dependent but that I was able to claim her for the EIC.  It seemed pretty straight forward.  I finally was able to talk to someone that works with TurboTax and she had me link it so she was able to look at my amended taxes before I sent it in and told me that I was not able to claim her for the EIC because she's not a dependent??? I just want to get them done correctly, I filed a month ago now and am very fed up. I am not going to send in my amended taxes if it's incorrect and at this point I'd rather just go to someone to do my taxes even though I already paid $100 on here.  Please someone who knows what they're talking about help me.
