Deductions & credits

Since you are filing jointly, when it asks if the child lived with "you" the "you" means the parents collectively, not just you as an individual.  So, yes, you can say the daughter lived with "you" because she clearly lived with one parent and the two of you are filing a joint return. Either she lived with your wife, or she lived in your home in the US and was temporarily absent - either case, you should be good to go.
