Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I have used TT for at least the last 4-5 years. I logged in for the first time this year and my daughters name is displayed as if she's me....if that makes sense

Did you and your daughter use the same account to file returns for 2017? 

When you use Online TurboTax, you get one return per fee.  Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, you overwrite the first one and lose it forever.

Or maybe you are in the wrong account:

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

She did not do taxes as she is a student and earned well below the threshold. I can't clear her or get to my information.

Her information got in there somehow--you say she is a student.  Did she try to prepare/file a return because of something related to FAFSA?  Better ask her.  If she used your account and user ID your 2017 return is gone.
