My dependent daughter filed as independent so my taxes were rejected. She fixed hers and paid the taxes owed. I've refiled and it is still rejected.

TT suggested I get a. IP-PIN which I did, but I cannot find where to add it. Will this clear the return to get accepted?

You can add the IP PIN:

If you have a 6 digit PIN issued to you by the IRS you need to enter it in order to e-file. Go to Federal>Other Tax Situations>Other Return Info>Identity Protection PIN and enter the six-digit PIN.

But if that does not work to let you e-file you will need to file by mail. Sadly, when a dependent makes the very common mistake that yours made, the parent is blocked from e-filing and has no remedy other than to file by mail.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
