Why do you want to put your daughter's W-2 on your 1040?
If she is your dependent, it is not required. However, if she made enough money to have to file as a dependent, then she needs to put her W-2 on her own 1040 (in Online TurboTax, this means she needs her own TurboTax account).
And even if she does not have to file (see IRS Pub 17) but would like to get her withholding back, she still needs to file her own 1040 return using her own Online account.
NOTE: if you have the CD/download software, then you can e-file up to 5 returns with the same software.
You don't include their income on your return. It would only go on their return if they are required to file one. To file a separate return in the Online version for your dependent you need to set up a new account. Online is only good for one return per account. You can use the same email address for 5 accounts. They can probably use the Free Edition. How to start a new online return

Be sure on their return they check the box that says they can be claimed on someone else’s return. If their only income is W2 and under 12,400 they do not have to file a return except to get back any withholding taken out.
