You can still claim her if she is a full time student under 24.

 

You can start another return in TurboTax Online by:
Logging out if you are in your account
Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return
https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/compare/online


Create your account screen
Set up a new login for the second return
Start working on the new return


Or use the Desktop program. The Desktop program can do unlimited returns and efile 5 for free. And you can use any Desktop version, they all have the same forms. So you could use a lower version than you might need in the Online version.

If she is not a full-time student and had over $5200 of income (not counting Social Security) then she is not your dependent and nothing about her is entered on your tax return at all.  She can file her own tax return to seek a refund of federal or state tax withheld.  

 

She will need her own account and user ID.
