You are not required to claim your daughter as a dependent on your tax return.
However, if you daughter meets the requirements to be your dependent, then she will have to indicate that she can be claimed as a dependent on her own tax return, even if you decide to not claim her. This may impact some tax benefits.
This IRS FAQ Who was eligible for the third-round Economic Impact Payment? states:

- You could be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s 2020 tax return
- You were a nonresident alien.
- You did not have a valid SSN issued to you by the due date of your tax return (including an extension to October 15 if you requested it).
