You can cliam your daughter as your dependent if :

You provided more than half of her support in 2016
She earned less than $4,050 in gross taxable income. (Social Security income generally doesn’t count here.)
She lives with you 365 days in the year or is related to you. 32
She isn’t a dependent on someone else’s tax return.
She isn’t filing a tax return with a spouse (married filing jointly).
She is a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident

You can’t claim a dependent if you are a dependent on someone else’s taxes
