Do I need to fill out schedule 8812 part 1 if my child does not have a ITIN?

Part 2 is already filled out via turbotax, but part 1 has lines A-D yes or no answers. Must I fill them out since my daughter is a legal resident with a SSN and does not have an ITIN?

No.  Those boxes are only necessary to fill out if your child has an ITIN but is considered a resident because of the substantial presence test.  Since your daughter has a Social Security Number, that information is not necessary for you.
